Sol Bamba: Cardiff City defender reveals he is cancer free

Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba has said he is cancer free just over four months after it was announced he was being treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

But having returned to action in Cardiff's draw with Rotherham on 8 May, Bamba says he is clear of the disease.

"Hey everyone, just a quick message to inform you that I'm now cancer free," the ex-Leeds United, Leicester City and Hibernian player wrote on Instagram.

"It is of course incredibly heart-warming news for my family and I, we are over the moon right now.

"Thank you to all my family, my friends and of course the club and everyone in the football industry that has helped me facing this challenge.
