Former Belgian footballer Lamisha Musonda has shared a heartbreaking message revealing that he is battling a critical illness and believes he may have only days left to live. The 33-year-old made the emotional disclosure on social media, reflecting on his life, memories, and the support he has received during a prolonged health struggle.

The message prompted an outpouring of support from fans and members of the football community.

"Life has so many ups and downs and no one really knows the pain you’re dealing with. This has been a tough and gruelling couple of years for me. And it is with sadness that I must inform you that I’ve been struggling trying to get my health back to normal hence why I’ve been unable to come on social media," Musonda said on his instagram post.

"I had to come to grips that my health is in a critical condition and I am now just fighting to stay alive. I would greatly appreciate your help and prayers in this period," he added.

'But so many wonderful people I wish I had the chance to thank, face to face. It pains me that I might not have the chance to do so. I love you all. Lamisha," Musonda added.

Musonda began his football journey at Anderlecht before moving to Chelsea’s academy in 2012 alongside his brothers, Tika and Charly. Although he showed promise in the youth ranks, he did not break into the senior side and returned to Belgium after two seasons.
