Everton Football Club has recently provided an encouraging update regarding the health of their beloved chairman, Bill Kenwright. Earlier this year, Kenwright received the distressing news of being diagnosed with liver cancer. However, the club has revealed that following a significant surgical procedure a few weeks ago, Kenwright is currently recuperating at home.

At the age of 78, Kenwright faced a considerable challenge when a cancerous tumor was discovered in his liver back in August. However, thanks to the expert medical intervention he received, the tumor was successfully removed. Although the operation proved to be a success, Kenwright had to confront additional complications, which necessitated his extended stay in the intensive care unit for careful observation and care.

The Everton community, along with football enthusiasts worldwide, were deeply concerned for Kenwright’s well-being during this difficult period. However, the news of his release from the hospital and ongoing recovery at home has brought about a sense of relief and optimism. Kenwright’s spirits remain high, and he is surrounded by the support, prayers, and good wishes of his family, friends, and fans alike.

The football world is anxiously awaiting Kenwright’s return to full health, eagerly anticipating his future involvement in the club he cherishes so dearly. Everton’s dedication to keeping the fans and stakeholders informed about Kenwright’s condition reflects their commitment to transparency and highlights the deep respect and admiration they hold for their esteemed chairman.

An Everton statement said: “Everton would like to provide a short update on the health of our Chairman, Bill Kenwright.

“Following a diagnosis at the beginning of August, Mr Kenwright underwent a major medical procedure six weeks ago to remove a cancerous tumour from his liver. 

“The procedure was completely successful, but complications during surgery necessitated a prolonged period in an intensive care unit. 

“Mr Kenwright is now out of intensive care and has left hospital. He has returned home to continue his recovery which is expected to be lengthy, but complete.

“Right up until the day of the procedure the Chairman had continued to carry out all his club duties, working hard alongside Mr Moshiri to facilitate the proposed takeover by 777 Partners and supporting Kevin Thelwell with the Club’s summer transfer activity.

“Mr Kenwright has always been fiercely protective of his private life and is grateful that his privacy has been respected during this difficult time.

“He hopes this will continue following this update.”

As Bill Kenwright courageously battles this illness, the entire football community stands united in solidarity, offering heartfelt support and well-wishes for his swift recovery.
