By aL Yhusuff

Ann-Katrin Berger who is a goalkeeper for Chelsea's women's team has announced that she is down with thyroid cancer.

The goalie has shared a statement and it reads;

"I wanted to update fans directly that unfortunately, after four years of living cancer-free, there has been a recurrence detected in my 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 and 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 and specialist in London and my treatment will start this week. I remain positive that my treatment will be as effective as last time and I’m looking forward to returning to the pitch and seeing you all at Kingsmeadow and Stamford Bridge."

Chelsea FC has stated that everyone at the club is behind her during this difficult time and the club will provide any support we can to help her make a speedy recovery.
