Edwin Van der Sar has been moved to his homeland from Croatia, but still remains in intensive care from brain haemorrhage, his wife, Annemarie van Kesteren reported.
The former Man United goalkeeper was hospitalized, while on vacation in Croatia about a week ago.
“His situation remains the same: stable, in a non-life-threatening condition and communicative,” his wife said.
“The Van der Sar family would like to express their deep gratitude to the University Hospital of Split for their great care during the last week.
“Edwin has to remain in the intensive care unit where he will be investigated further, and the family fervently hope he can focus on his recovery afterwards.”
Van der Sar retired from professional football back in 2011 and became a part of Ajax’s board in 2012. He resigned from the role as chief executive this May after the team finished 3rd and failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2009.
