Alvarez beats cancer again
Yeray Alvarez has beaten testicular cancer for the second time in as many years. The 22-year-old defender was initially treated for the disease in December of 2016 before suffering a relapse in June of this year when 'abnormalities' were found during a routine medical test with the Spain Under-21 side. Having already had a testicle removed following his first diagnosis, Yeray then underwent chemotherapy immediately following the second while the rest of his teammates shaved their heads in solidarity. It would seem like the chemo was successful, with Bilbao today confirming that their man is now 2-0 up against cancer. " he treatment phase scheduled in June for the disease has ended. In the next few days [Yeray] will be discharged and will begin the phase of progressive incorporation to the team," Betis tweeted.
