Dominic Matteo has revealed his latest brain MRI scan shows that 'everything is stable' and his brain is 'regenerating' after being diagnosed with a brain tumour in November 2019.
The former Liverpool defender took to social media to reflect on the third anniversary of his 'life saving' 10-hour brain surgery after being told he had a rare, cancerous ependymoma brain tumour.
Matteo made 127 appearances for Liverpool before making a permanent switch to Leeds United in 2000. The ex-defender eventually retired from football with Stoke City in 2009.
