Liverpool’s all-time leading goalscorer Ian Rush is recovering in hospital after spending two days in intensive care with flu.<\/b><\/p>\n
Rush, 64, was taken into the Countess of Chester hospital last week with breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n
A Liverpool spokesperson thanked staff at the hospital for “providing the best care possible” and said “everyone at Liverpool wishes him a speedy recovery”.<\/p>\n
Rush spent two hugely successful spells at Liverpool either side of a stint at Juventus in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
He scored a club-record 346 goals in 660 appearances for Liverpool, winning five First Division titles and two European Cups.<\/p>\n
The striker, who also played for Leeds, Newcastle and Wrexham over a 22-year career, won 73 caps for Wales and was their leading scorer with 28 goals until that record was broken by Gareth Bale in 2018.<\/p>\n
After hanging up his boots in 2000, Rush moved into management and had an eight-month spell in charge of Chester.<\/p>\n
He currently works as an ambassador for Liverpool and regularly attends matches at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Flu cases are soaring across the UK. An average of 2,660 patients per day were in hospital with flu in England last week – the highest for this time of year since records began in 2021, and up 55% on the week before, NHS England said.<\/p>\n
Flu cases are also rising in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, figures show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
