D.C United defender Chris Odoi Atsem has been given the all clear after completing treatment for lymphoma.

Odoi-Atsem began a four-month chemotherapy at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital after he was diagnosed with Stage Two Hodgkin’s lymphoma last October.

The team announced on their official twitter handle on Tuesday night that the 23-year-old has been cleared of the illness and is set to join his teammates in training in not too long distance.
