Manchester United and Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher is taking an extended break from football because of a serious stomach illness.
The club said Fletcher had "accepted medical advice to take an extended break".
He is taking a rest "in order to afford the best chance possible of achieving full remission once again".
The statement added: "Darren's continued desire to play and his loyalty to both club and country has probably compromised the chances of optimising his own health and fitness.
"We request that his privacy is respected and hope that the removal of the additional stress associated with speculation regarding his health will also aid his recovery
Queste le parole del ct Levein:
"He is one of the most inspirational players I have had the pleasure of working with and, on behalf of his Scotland team-mates and my backroom staff, I sincerely hope this time off, allied to the support of his family, will enable him to make a full recovery"
Torna presto Capitano,e in bocca al lupo per il recupero.
Siamo tutti con te.
