Former Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Marton Fulop has decided to take a break away from the game following an operation.
The 30-year-old, who underwent surgery to have a tumour removed from his arm last week, is confident that he will make a full recovery.
"I am sure that, after a few months, I will be ready both physically and mentally, to continue playing football," said Fulop.
"What is more, I'd like to train between the treatment courses, as the doctors have said this is fine, and, in fact, they heartily recommend it.
"I am very grateful for all the messages and good wishes. It really helps me that many are thinking of me."
Fulop, who currently plays for Greek side Asteras Tripoli, also had stints at Tottenham Hotspur and Ipswich Town.
