From Xabi Alonso's twitter:

Miki Roque, jugador del Betis y ex-Liverpool, se le ha detectado un tumor en la pelvis. Un fuerte abrazo para él.

Translation:

Miki Roque, Betis player and ex-Liverpool, he has found a tumor in the pelvis. A big hug for him.

Very sad news, my thoughts is with him & his family.

Just heard he has retired aged just 22

We signed him in 2005, one of Rafa's first youth signings. He had a bright future but wasn't suited to english football. At Betis he seemed to found his feet and could have had a really decent career.

Awful news Hopefully he beats his cancer. My thoughts are with him and his family aswell.

He hasn't retired, he is just out for the rest of the season.

Absolutely horrible news. I recall when it was first announced but never thought about it until today when it became too late.

Spain are not only in a very hopeless economic situation but they have not been lucky with similar stories in the past years (Puerta, Jarque).
