Former Liverpool, West Ham United and Cameroon defender Rigobert Song is reportedly fighting for his life after being rushed to hospital in Yaounde.

The 40-year-old is the uncle of former Arsenal, West Ham and Charlton midfielder Alex.

The head coach of Chad's senior national team is in a critical condition after suffering from cerebral aneurysm. 

The football world was quick to unite in support of the popular ex-player, who won more than 100 caps for Cameroon.

Hope everything ends up ok for #rigobertsong
