Vialli condition 'worsened' as ex-Italy star continues cancer fight in hospital

Gianluca Vialli's mother has rushed over to London to visit her son in hospital after the former Chelsea and Italy striker's condition worsened this week, according to reports in Italy.

Vialli, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer for a second time in 2021, announced last week that he is leaving his role as a coach for Italy's national team to focus on his latest battle with the illness.

And according to Italian publication Corriere Della Serra, the 58-year-old's condition has worsened in recent days, meaning his mother, Maria Teresa, and brother Nino have flew over from Italy to be by his side in London before returning home on Tuesday.
