Former Dutch winger Marc Overmars hospitalised after 'mild' stroke

The Hague (Netherlands): Former Netherlands international Marc Overmars was admitted to hospital after suffering a “mild stroke”, Belgian club Royal Antwerp said.

The ex-Arsenal forward was “doing well”, according to the club, which Overmars joined as sporting director in March.

Overmars, 49, “became unwell last night and was admitted to hospital with a mild stroke”, the club said on its official Twitter account on Friday.

“Marc is doing well in the meantime, but will have to take it easy for a while. Marc and his family are focussing on his recovery and do not wish to comment further.”

The club added that it “wishes Marc a speedy recovery”.


Overmars left Amsterdam’s Ajax in February after sending inappropriate messages and photos to female staff.

Antwerp appointed him a month later, saying they were giving him a “second chance”.

Overmars made his name as a player at Barcelona and Arsenal.
