Overmar’s health worse than feared

At the end of December, the Belgian club Royal Antwerpen, where Overmars has been sporting director since March 2022, reported that the Dutchman had suffered a minor stroke. In fact, it is said to have been a cardiac arrest that led to irreversible damage to the heart.

This is what the Dutch media are reporting about the ex-soccer player, who played for Arsenal FC (1997-2000), FC Barcelona (2000-2004) and the Dutch national team (86 games, 17 goals), among others.
