Former Chelsea star Brian Laudrup has vowed to win his battle against cancer after he began treatment.
Laudrup, 41, revealed the shock news he had been diagnosed with a mild form of lymphoma on Tuesday. The attacker endured a disappointing seven game spell at Chelsea in the 1998-99 season after grabbing 33 goals in 116 appearances for Rangers.
In a statement given to TV3, the 82-times capped Denmark international declared he had been given a "very optimistic" report from doctors.
He said: "I am obviously shocked by the diagnosis, but also know that there is now a tough battle ahead of me - a battle I will win.
"Fortunately, I have had very optimistic reports from doctors to support me."
The former Bayern Munich, Fiorentina and Ajax star added: "I now want to use my energy to get over the shock and take time with my family and those closest to me, so together we can move forward after this diagnosis."
