COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -Former Denmark international Brian Laudrup is being treated for a mild case of lymphoma.
The 41-year-old former striker says he was "shocked by the diagnosis'' and is facing "a tough fight,'' but he had received "optimistic'' news from doctors because the cancer discovered last week was at a very early stage.
In a statement released on Tuesday by his employer, TV3, Laudrup said he would continue as football commentator for the channel's Champions League matches.
Laudrup played for several European clubs including Bayern Munich, Italian powerhouses Fiorentina and Milan, Glasgow Rangers and Ajax.
He quit the Danish side in 1987 (retard journoes

) after 82 games and 21 goals.

Never spotted that until you said. Glad it's a mild case of lymphoma but obviously wish nowt was wrong with him.

Never seen him play live but seen Brian play and he was very good, and from viewing video clips Michael was even better. Also heard he's an excellent football coach and manager who has also been full of good praise for Liverpool, recently saying I believe that he nearly played for Liverpool. Anyways hope the fella gets better soon, good luck!

Edit: Just seen it is Brian, gutted over that. Used to love watching the old Rangers team of Gascoigne, McCoist, Laudrup, Gough and Negro. Good luck Brian!

I'm sure we were linked with him once when he was at Rangers. Great player.

Sad news and hope he recovers.

hope he beats it, great footballer. I wished we had him during his rangers spell - was absolutely phenomenal.

My cousin, an LFC fan aged just 17, has just developed this too. Luckily it's often considered the 'best cancer to get', as perverse as that sounds. Horrible news nonetheless and here's hoping they both make a full recovery and as pain-free as possible.

Classy player, hope he recovers quickly enough, the diagnosis sounds positive anyway.
