Kirian Rodriguez, the captain of Spanish club Las Palmas, says he will be unavailable for the remainder of the season after relapsing with cancer. <\/b><\/p>\n
The 28-year-old missed 11 months of action after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2022. <\/p>\n
Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system that fights disease and germs. <\/p>\n
“Yesterday I was informed that I have relapsed with cancer,” said Rodriguez. <\/p>\n
“I will have to stop playing again and go through another round of chemotherapy to fight the disease.<\/p>\n
“I hope to see them all again in 2025\/26.”<\/p>\n
Rodriguez went through six sessions of chemotherapy after being diagnosed at the age of 26.<\/p>\n
He completed his chemotherapy cycle in November 2022 and was given the all-clear by January 2023. <\/p>\n
The midfielder returned to action for Las Palmas in April 2023. <\/p>\n
He has featured in 21 of Las Palmas’ 22 La Liga fixtures this term, with the club currently 15th in the league table and two points above the relegation zone. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
