🚨 Drenthe after a stroke: "he's stable and in good hands”

“He is receiving good care and is in good hands,” clarifies FC Rebellen’s post. “Royston’s family requests calm and privacy during this time in order to provide him with the necessary support and space for his recovery,” explains the statement distributed by Reuters.

Drenthe was one of Real Madrid’s most unexpected signings after shining with Feyenoord and being named MVP at the 2007 Under-21 European Championship.

In Madrid, where he played until 2012, he never managed to succeed.
