San Raffaele hospital has provided another update on the condition of Monza president Silvio Berlusconi, who is currently in intensive care.
The former Prime Minister of Italy was hospitalised last week with cardiovascular issues and was diagnosed with pneumonia. It was later revealed that Berlusconi had been diagnosed with leukaemia earlier this month, and he has already started chemotherapy.
Support for Berlusconi has poured in from the world of Italian football, with various players and directors talking about the former Milan owner’s condition and giving their best wishes.
San Raffaele hospital, where Berlusconi has been admitted since Wednesday last week, released an update today on the 86-year-old’s condition, sharing their optimism.
“The last 48 hours have seen a progressive and steady improvement in monitored organ function. Cytoreductive, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory treatments are producing the expected results, allowing us to express cautious optimism.
“President Silvio Berlusconi remains in intensive care.”
Berlusconi has been the owner of Monza since 2018, taking over a club in Serie C and guiding them to their first ever topflight campaign in a matter of years. He has regularly shared his ambitions for the Lombardy outfit, who sit comfortably 13th in the Serie A table.
