Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan appeals for help to save seriously ill aunt

Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan has appealed for help to save his seriously ill aunt who is suffering from a life-threatening condition.

The American's relative Darlene Jagiello, who is a mother of two, has primary sclerosing cholangitis, which can only be cured with a liver transplant, according to the Birmingham Mail.

On Twitter, Guzan wrote: "Our family has been faced with a serious medical condition, our aunt is in need of a life saving donation. We are praying for a miracle!"

The goalkeeper's relatives have launched a website urging people between the ages of 18 to 55 with Type O or Type A blood to see if they are a donor match.
