Birmingham City boss Harry Redknapp was rushed to hospital for emergency stomach surgery.

The Sun reports Redknapp, 70, was rushed to hospital for surgery to remove a tumour from his bladder.

The Birmingham City manager said of the tumour he feared might kill him: “I could feel it in my body — I knew it wasn't right.

“This is the first time I've been properly worried.

“I knew I didn't feel good, you know when something isn't right, but it was Sandra who pushed me to the doctor in the end."

Harry was rushed into hospital for surgery to remove the tumour from his bladder and now has to have check-ups every three months.

He was only given the all-clear to start the Blues' pre-season training programme last week after his test results came back negative.
