Liverpool Football Club was today saddened to hear news that former player Miki Roque has been diagnosed with cancer.
We would like to send our thoughts to Miki and his family after his current club Real Betis confirmed the 22-year-old would have to undergo surgery to remove a tumour in his pelvis.
Roque was on Liverpool's books between 2005 and 2009 and was part of our FA Youth Cup winning team in 2006.
He made just one substitute appearance for the first team in a Champions League clash with Galatasaray in December 2006.
Xabi Alonso was the player he replaced on the night - and the Spanish international today sent his own message of support via Twitter.
