TOP STORIES - AFC Bournemouth's Brooks hit with lymphoma

Terrible news for David Brooks. The Bournemouth midfielder announced on his networks that he had cancer: “It's a very difficult message for me to write. I have been diagnosed with stage II Hodgkin lymphoma and will start treatment next week. While this has been a shock to me and my family, the prognosis is positive and I am sure I will make a full recovery and be back on the pitch as soon as possible. "

The Welsh international also asks the media not to interfere with his privacy during his convalescence, hoping to regain the grounds after his recovery: "Although I appreciate the attention and interest of the media, I would like to ask that my life privacy will be respected in the coming months and I will share updates on my progress when I am able to do so. In the meantime, I thank everyone for their messages of support. It means a lot. I look forward to seeing you all again and playing the sport I love very soon. "
