July 15, (THEWILL) – Former Manchester United goalkeeper, Edwin van der Sar, has returned to the Netherlands for further treatment of his brain bleed.
This was confirmed by his family on Saturday.

Fellow Dutch football icon, Jaap Stam, shared his well wishes for Van der Sar, expressing shock at the situation, noting that it is unexpected for something like this to happen to a former player and teammate. Stam highlighted Van der Sar’s active lifestyle and athleticism.
He extended his love and best wishes to the goalkeeper and his family, hoping for a successful recovery and their safety.
