Following rumors that he has been in urgent care in a Barcelona hospital, Swansea and Cardiff have wished their former striker well.
After managing Real Madrid twice and Real Sociedad once in the 1980s and 1990s, the former Swansea City manager has lived in Spain. His hospitalization was initially reported in the Spanish media. The 72-year-old was admitted to the hospital on Monday with acute pneumonia after contracting coronavirus and has been on a ventilator since Saturday, according to El Diario Vasco in Spain.

Who is Toshack, and why is he famous:
Toshack is a fantastic striker for both his club and his country. Before joining Liverpool in 1970, he spent five years with Cardiff, scoring 74 goals in 174 games. In his eight years at Anfield, he scored 96 goals and helped the club win three league crowns, two UEFA Cups, and an FA Cup. Toshack joined Swansea as a player-manager in 1978 and guided the club’s promotion to the Premier League three times in four seasons. He held two management posts, one in Real Madrid and the other in Wales.
Liverpool team wants his speed recovery:
John Toshack, a Liverpool icon and former Wales manager, is in urgent care after difficulties with Covid. The 72-year-condition old’s has worsened in the previous few hours, according to respected Basque daily El Diario Vasco, after medics verified he was suffering from “severe pneumonia.” “We express our wishes to our former player John Toshack who has been rushed to hospital,” the Irish Liverpool Reds wrote on Twitter.
“Our John Toshack, admitted in serious condition for Covid,” the Spanish-language Liverpool FC website Esto Es Anfield stated. He’s been in the UCI in Barcelona for six days, fighting severe pneumonia caused by Covid, and he’s been on mechanical ventilation since Saturday. All my strength to our great player from here.” Toshack was instrumental in Liverpool winning two league crowns, the European Cup, the UEFA Cup twice, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup.
