Aston Villa captain Stylian Petrov has been diagnosed with acute leukemia. This news came on Friday, a minutes applause was felt at villa park on Saturday against Chelsea after 19 minutes the number that Petrov wears. Petrov attended the game and was very overwhelmed by the support has revived since the news broke. This comes days after Fabrice Muamba was pictured sitting up in his hospital bed after he collapsed against Spurs in the FA Cup match held a couple of weeks ago. I would like to wish Petrov a quick recovery in his fight against leukemia.
