- Former Chelsea manager Gianluca Vialli has been given the all-clear from doctors following a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer, the English Premier League club said on Monday .
Vialli, 55, made his name at Sampdoria before spending four years at Juventus where he won the Champions League in 1996. The club quickly offered the use of a hotel at their Stamford Bridge stadium to health workers once Premier League matches were suspended last month and have promised to match all donations made to domestic abuse charity Refuge during a six-week fund-raising campaign.
“They were very quick to respond with the help of the hotel and there’s a lot more work going on with the foundation, with link-ups and with getting in touch with fans.Premier League players had been in the firing from prominent politicians, including UK health secretary Matt Hancock, for not agreeing to pay cuts.
With the virus yet to peak in the UK, the Premier League season has been indefinitely suspended with no date even for clubs to return to training. Similar proposals have been made for the Premier League to complete the season without fans at matches over the summer months.
