Chelsea legend Gianluca Vialli is battling cancer again.
The 57-year-old announced that he is facing the return of the pancreatic cancer he fought in 2017.
The former striker, who won FA Cup and League Cup trophies with the Blues during his time in England, was speaking at a London book launch.
He said: "I feel good, but my journey is not yet complete.
"The unwanted guest, as I call it, is still here with me. At this moment I am in maintenance mode.
"The tumour is still there. At times it is more noticeable, at others less so.
"I will keep fighting because I want to be here for many more years.
"I want you to have to put up with me for a long time to come.
"I take that strength from my family, friends, and all those who give me such courage. I can't thank them enough."
