Las Palmas player set to return after beating cancer for the second time | OneFootball

Kirian Rodríguez, midfielder for Las Palmas, currently in the Spanish second division, has been cleared to return to football after a cancer recurrence, the player himself announced at a press conference.

“I want you to know that I’ve been discharged. I’m not cured, because a cancer patient needs five years for what is called a cure. That’s why the relapse happened, because I wasn’t completely cured,” said the 28-year-old midfielder from Tenerife, who overcame Hodgkin’s lymphoma two years ago.

“But yes, I’ve been discharged, I have competitive clearance. So, this allows me to return to my daily life, truly, to my normal life, to training, to being able to kick a teammate and get kicked back, and to be able to give the coach a dirty look when he doesn’t include me in the squad,” Rodríguez joked.

The midfielder, who revealed the recurrence at the beginning of February, had to stay away for another six months to undergo another round of chemotherapy and fight the disease.
