The 38-year-old ex-Netherlands international was admitted to hospital<\/a> in October.<\/p>\n

Tjarda Zeggelink of FC de Rebellen – an agency which represents Drenthe – told BBC Sport: “Royston is currently in an important phase of his rehabilitation process.<\/p>\n

“He is working with great dedication and discipline on his recovery, showing the same commitment and motivation we have come to expect from him.<\/p>\n

“While it is still too early to provide a specific timeline, we are pleased with Royston’s approach to his recovery.<\/p>\n

“His positive attitude and professional mindset are playing an important role in the overall progress of the rehabilitation process.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to monitor his development closely and remain confident in a successful recovery.”<\/p>\n

Drenthe began his professional career with Feyenoord before moving to Real Madrid in 2007, winning the La Liga title a year later.<\/p>\n

He went on loan to Everton in 2011-12 and had spells at Reading and Sheffield Wednesday among others before retiring in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
