He's just posted this:

"Resilience like that was good to lean on when I was told before Christmas that I would need surgery on a brain tumour. It was easy to take the news with a matter-of-fact attitude because I’d seen how other people dealt with and processed significantly worse situations. I don’t want to dwell on my diagnosis. The tumour is benign and I won’t need radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The specialists expect me to make a full recovery. But I will be gone from The Athletic for a while and I didn’t want to vanish without explaining why."

Surgery tomorrow.

Awful news. All the best, Phil.

The full article, referencing conversations with Matteo and Bamba, is written brilliantly.

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
