Wales and Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks has revealed he has been diagnosed with cancer.
In a statement the 24-year-old said he has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma and will begin treatment next week.
"This is a very difficult message for me to write," said Brooks in a statement.
"I have been diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma and will begin a course of treatment next week.
"Although this has come as a shock to myself and my family, the prognosis is a positive one and I am confident that I will make a full recovery and be back playing as soon as possible.
"I'd like to show my appreciation to the doctors, nurses, consultants and staff who have been treating me for their professionalism, warmth and understanding during this period.

The very same cancer took my young aunt in the late 60’s. Ten years later she’d almost certainly have lived due to medical advancements, DB’s prospects are good I think. Good luck to him.
