Chelsea said on Monday Gianluca Vialli’s recovery from cancer was “amazing news” after the former Blues striker revealed he had been given the all-clear from his second battle with the disease.
Vialli, 55, who also managed the Premier League club, beat cancer in 2018 before announcing last year he was fighting it again.
The former Italy and Juventus forward announced “tests showed no signs of the disease” in an interview with Italian daily La Repubblica published on Monday.
“Gianluca Vialli has been given the all-clear following a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Amazing news,” the Premier League club said on Twitter.
