The 52-year-old was admitted to a hospital in Split in Croatia last week while on holiday after suffering bleeding around the brain but has now returned to his homeland.

"His situation remains the same: stable, in a non-life-threatening condition and communicative," said a statement from Van der Sar's wife Annemarie.

"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."
