Sorry if this is posted elsewhere

Edwin van der Sar has been placed on indefinite compassionate leave by Manchester United after his wife suffered a brain haemorrhage, manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed.

The 39-year-old goalkeeper, who has been absent since last month's win over Everton with a knee injury, had been given permission to return to the Netherlands over the festive period and receive treatment from the national team doctor.

But his 36-year-old wife Annemarie van Kesteren collapsed last Wednesday as Van der Sar and his young family were preparing to celebrate Christmas and the Holland international has been granted permission to stay away from Manchester.

I wish her a speedy recovery

Very sorry to hear that. He always comes across as a decent guy.
