Former Wales goalkeeper Lewis Price is battling testicular cancer.
Price, who was capped 11 times for his country, is currently the goalkeeping coach with League One club MK Dons.
In a statement on their website, the club announced: "MK Dons can confirm goalkeeper coach Lewis Price is currently battling testicular cancer.
"Lewis, 38, will soon undergo a course of treatment, which will keep him away from the football club for a period of time.
"Head coach Liam Manning, sporting director Liam Sweeting and performance director Simon Crampton have issued the following message: 'The full support of everybody at the football club is with Lewis and his family and we will do everything we can to help them through this challenging time.
“'Lewis will have all the time he needs to recover and work his way back to a stage of full health, and we, as a club, will do everything we can to help with that.
“'I know the MK Dons family will be right behind Lewis throughout his recovery but we ask that during this time, everyone respects his and his family’s privacy'.
"Get well soon, Pricey. We are all with you!"
Price represented Ipswich Town, Derby County, Crystal Palace and Sheffield Wednesday - among others - in a career which spanned 17 years. Upon retiring, he moved into coaching, first with Bournemouth and then with MK.
He made his Wales debut against Cyprus in 2005, playing a further 10 times on the international stage.
