Glenn Roeder: Latest News

Here is an update into Glenn Roeder's progress, as issued jointly by West Ham United Football Club and The Royal London Hospital on Tuesday, 22nd April 2003 at 8.00 pm.

Mr Glenn Roeder continues to be in a stable condition and continues to make satisfactory progress.

He has undergone further investigations and scans throughout the day and we are still awaiting the results of these.

However, we can confirm that there has been a blockage of a minor blood vessel in his brain.

Doctors are continuing to carry out tests and will be in a position to make a fuller diagnosis once these are completed.

We will not make any further statements in the next 24 hours.

Information will appear on the official West Ham United website - www.whufc.com - when available.

The Roeder family would again like to thank supporters and people within the football world who have sent goodwill messages and to thank people for respecting their privacy.
