Chelsea and Germany goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger has revealed she has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer for a second time and will begin treatment this week.
Berger was initially diagnosed in November 2017 during her time with Birmingham City, but made a full recovery and was subsequently named in the PFA Team of the Year.
However, the 31-year-old said on Tuesday that after four years being cancer-free, a recurrence has been detected in her thyroid.
I ve said before that as a sportsperson, you have to fight every day to be the best you can be and that s something I will continue to do, she said in a statement.
I hope by sharing my journey I can help others that find themselves in a similar situation.
I am working closely with my club doctor…
