Van der Sar agent hopeful of recovery after brain bleed

Edwin van der Sar’s agent, Rob Jansen, has spoken to a podcast about the former goalkeeper suffering a brain haemorrhage.

It comes as a relief that the agent in question believes it will work out for Van der Sar as doctors plan a path of recovery for the Dutchman.

“Of course things are not going well,” Jansen replied when asked if he wanted to say anything about Van der Sar’s situation, as per VI.nl. “But not good and good. That’s what it’s called under control. You have to protect the family in this. He’s in good hands. Annemarie (his wife) is there with her son. There is continuous contact from the Netherlands about how to proceed.”

Van der Sar will remain in intensive care in Croatia for now.

“He needs to rest very well,” Jansen added. “We are confident that this will work out, but it is not small. A brain haemorrhage is very serious. She (Annemarie) had it herself in 2009. She recognises a lot of what happened to her then.”
