It has been a difficult few weeks for former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, but there is finally some good news. The Dutchman has been released from intensive care after suffering a brain bleed earlier this month.
Van der Sar, who is currently the CEO of Ajax, was admitted to hospital on November 4th after experiencing severe headaches. It was later revealed that he had suffered a brain bleed, and he was immediately placed in intensive care.
The news of his illness sent shockwaves around the football world, with many of his former teammates and clubs sending messages of support. Fortunately, it appears that the 45-year-old is now on the mend.
A statement from Ajax confirmed that Van der Sar had been released from intensive care and was now in a stable condition. The statement also thanked everyone for their support and asked for privacy for Van der Sar and his family as he continues to recover.
Van der Sar is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time. He made over 500 appearances for Ajax and Manchester United, winning four Premier League titles and the Champions League with the latter. He also represented the Netherlands at international level, making 130 appearances for his country.
The football world will be delighted to hear that Van der Sar is on the mend, and we wish him all the best in his recovery.
