England legend Sir Geoffrey Boycott rushed to hospital and ‘can’t eat or drink’ after setback in cancer surgery recovery
ENGLAND legend Sir Geoffrey Boycott has been rushed to hospital with pneumonia after suffering a setback in his recovery from cancer surgery.
The cricket icon, 83, went under the knife this week after revealing he had been diagnosed with throat cancer for a second time.
His family issued an update on social media, telling fans that Boycott had successfully undergone a three-hour operation.
However, a new statement on Sunday afternoon revealed that Boycott’s health has now “taken a turn for the worse.”
After returning home from his cancer surgery, the former batsman was struck down with pnuemonia.
He is “unable to eat or drink” as a result of the illness.
And Boycott is now back in hospital “on oxygen and a feeding tube.”
The full statement from his family read: “Thank you all for the well wishes, we’ve been blown away by the sheer number of them!
“Unfortunately things have taken a turn for the worse and my Father has developed pneumonia and is unable to eat or drink so is back in hospital on oxygen and a feeding tube for the foreseeable.”
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
