Stoke City striker Jese Rodriguez's sick son has had a second op in less than a year.

His 25-year-old dad travelled to Spain to join his ex partner Aurah Ruiz and their child Nyan, who has spent most of the eight months since he was born prematurely in hospital.

The on-loan PSG footballer posted a touching message to his son on Twitter after jetting to the Madrid clinic where the op was performed.
