Dyer said in a statement on Chesterfield’s website: ‘In 2019 I was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a chronic liver condition that has no cure.
‘Ever since that day, I knew that I would require a transplant. Three months ago, I was admitted to the Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
‘A fortnight ago came the life-changing news that I was to be the recipient of a new liver, and would swiftly undergo a transplant. This morning I was discharged from hospital.
‘Simply saying “thank you” to the staff at the hospital feels insufficient. They have been extraordinary.
‘Be it the nurses, porters, doctors or consultants, I have been blown away by the quality of care I received.
‘I could not have been in better hands throughout, and my appreciation goes beyond words. I will never forget them.’
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a rare condition that attacks the bile ducts and can leave them scarred.

The human body is complex and sturdy. It is also very vulnerable.
Every day you wake up, do not fail to give thanks to God!
Best wishes to you Kieron Dyer!
