Sky Sports<\/a> presenter Emma Saunders has revealed she has been diagnosed with a brain infection following recent treatment for cancer.<\/p>\n

Saunders has been a key component of the broadcaster’s Premier League<\/a> coverage in recent years as a touchline reporter, questioning managers before and after matches. <\/p>\n

The Watford<\/a> fan has been conspicuous by her absence in recent weeks and provided a heartwrenching update to her social media followers on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

‘Hi folks. Unfortunately life took a bit of an unexpected turn a couple of weeks ago and I’m now off work while I recover from Encephalitis – an infection of the brain,’ she wrote on Instagram<\/a>underneath a picture of her clutching a toy giraffe from her hospital bed. <\/p>\n

‘I hope it wont be long until I’m back to see out the end of 2024\/25 \u2013 especially after missing part of the start of the season before this when I was treated for Thyroid cancer.<\/p>\n

‘So, as I spend time now recovering and rebuilding again – I just wanted to thank my family & friends for their rock solid support, my colleagues at Sky for their patience allowing me the time to heal, and our wonderful NHS for their extraordinary kindness and care.<\/p>\n

‘And of course you Will Still just for being you & being there for me.’<\/p>\n

The pair began dating last year and Saunders went public on their relationship after the pair were seen attending matches together at Euro 2024.<\/p>\n

After posting the update on her health, meanwhile, Saunders was inundated with messages of support from her Sky colleagues. <\/p>\n

Commentator Pien Meulensteen commented: ‘Oh Emma, wishing you a speedy recovery and sending lots of love.’<\/p>\n

Becky Ives, who works for TNT Sports, wrote: ‘Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry to read this! Sending you so much love & wishing you a speedy recovery!’<\/p>\n

Soccer Saturday’s Simon Thomas, meanwhile, posted: ‘So sorry to hear you\u2019ve gone through this Emma. You\u2019re missed! Look after yourself and hope you\u2019re feeling much better soon x’<\/p>\n
