AC Milan has posted a message in support of former head coach Oscar Tabarez, who is battling ill health.

The Uruguay boss was forced to use a mobility scooter and a walking stick during the Copa America Centenario last month, though he refused to discuss his ailment publicly.

Reports in his homeland state that the 69-year-old has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a serious condition in which the body's immune system attacks the central nervous system, usually after a viral or bacterial infection.
