Fulham midfielder Kevin McDonald successfully underwent a kidney transplant yesterday, the club have confirmed.
A short message on Fulham’s official Twitter account revealed that both McDonald and his brother, who was his donor for the transplant, ‘are both doing well as they begin their recovery from surgery’. The Scottish international thanked supporters for their messages of goodwill as he prepared for the operation.
McDonald has made 128 appearances in five years at Craven Cottage and has been part of two Championship-winning promotion sides with Fulham.
A second successive day of brilliant news. Delighted that this has gone well for Kevin, who was so brave to disclose this quite so publicly. It isn’t a surprise given how much of a leader he is. I hope he makes a full recovery and enjoys whatever he is going to do next. He’s given me some great memories as a Fulham fan and is obviously such a massive character.
Great News, perhaps we can all realise that health is more important than football. One cant exist without the other.
