Chris Kamara sent his sincere thanks to his followers on Twitter as he confirmed he will take a break from his regular presenting role due to concerns over his health.
The much-loved pundit, 64, was covering a League One match between Rotherham United and Shrewsbury Town for Sky Sports Soccer Saturday last weekend when fans noticed his speech was "slurred". He later took to social media to explain he is battling apraxia which makes it difficult for him to speak at times.
"Just wanted to let a few of you know who tweeted me today that I am ok ish," Kamara wrote. "Alongside my Thyroid problem I have developed Apraxia of Speech & have been working to get my speech back to normal. Some days it can be a little slow and some days it's normal. Hopefully I can beat this!"
