Ex-Hammer Rigobert Song has regained consciousness after spending two days in a coma.
The 40-year-old former Cameroon international was rushed into hospital at the weekend after falling unconscious. It was later determined that he has suffered a brain aneurysm.However his doctor - Louis Joss Bitang A Mafok, a director at Cameroon's Yaounde Central Hospital - revealed this morning that Song's condition was now under control.
"He has come out of his coma and the oxygen has been disconnected," said Mafok. "His high blood pressure has returned to normal and the cerebral haemorrhage has been controlled."
Je te souhaite beaucoup de courage et un prompt rétablissement grand frère #RigobertSong! 💪🏽🙏🏽 https://t.co/lc7R34KgL7

Song, who featured for West Ham between 2000 and 2002 will fly to France later today in order to continue his treatment.
"A medical aircraft will be in Cameroon in the morning," added Mafok. "We will have a working session with the French team and then he will be flown to France."
