Geoffrey Boycott Readmitted To Hospital After Surgery. Family Shares Worrying Update

Legendary England cricket team batter and captain Geoffrey Boycott had to be readmitted to the hospital just days after undergoing surgery for throat cancer. An official statement was issued on social media from Boycott's family that he has developed pneumonia after he was released from the hospital and his condition has taken "a turn for the worse". The statement further stated that the legendary batter was unable to eat or drink and will have to use a feeding tube for the "foreseeable future".

“Thank you all for the well wishes, we've been blown away by the sheer number of them! Unfortunately things have taken a turn for the worse and my Father has developed pneumonia and is unable to eat or drink so is back in hospital on oxygen and a feeding tube for the foreseeable,” read a statement that was issued from Boycott's official X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
