McPhail diagnosed with cancer

CARDIFF CITY this evening issued a club statement that midfield playmaker Steven McPhail has been diagnosed with Stage One Malt Lymphona, a form of cancer.




The player has been in prime form for The Bluebirds but recently had an operation to remove a growth from his neck and he is out of action anyway at present following an operation to re-attach muscle to his thigh.


McPhail has won back the support of Bluebirds worldwide for his performances on the field this season after suffering poor form for some time and instantly had their total support to overcome this battle off the pitch too. I can only wish him and his family well.


STEPHEN McPHAIL: CLUB STATEMENT

Cardiff City midfielder Stephen McPhail has been diagnosed with a stage one malt lymphoma, previously known as a pseudo lymphoma.

Treatment is expected to last for three weeks with a return to playing football by January, 2010.

The club requests that the privacy of Stephen, his wife and young family be respected during his recovery.
