Former Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer 'currently undertaking tests in hospital'

Former Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer is 'currently undertaking tests in hospital'.

Ipswich Town released a club statement on Wednesday which confirmed their under-23s manager is currently receiving treatment.

The statement reads: "The Club can confirm that Town U23 manager Kieron Dyer is currently undertaking tests in hospital.

"Everyone at Ipswich Town Football Club sends their best wishes to Kieron at this time.

"We ask everyone to respect Kieron’s privacy, and we will be making no further comment on the matter."

Dyer began his career with the Tractor Boys and spent eight years with the Magpies before leaving for West Ham in 2007.

The 42-year-old took his first steps into coaching after retirement with Ipswich in 2014, and returned to the club last year to lead the under-23s.

Dyer's latest medical examinations come months after his issues on Channel 4 television show Celebrity SAS, where he suffered a collapsed lung, a fractured rib and hypothermia.
