Former Croatia striker Ivan Klasnic has undergone a third kidney operation after a donor was found.
The 37-year-old suffered kidney failure in 2006 while playing for Werder Bremen and after his body rejected a transplant from his mother, he received a donor from his father.
His kidneys failed again in September last year, though, and the 37-year-old has endured an anxious wait to find a new donor.
Klasnic, who played for Bolton Wanderers between 2009 and 2012, was due to attend their Championship game against QPR at the Macron Stadium on Saturday.
The club issued a statement on its official website, saying "we are looking forward to seeing him back at the Macron Stadium in the future".
extend our best wishes to Ivan Klasnic who has undergone a sudden operation after a kidney donor was found. Get well soon, Ivan! October 19, 2017
