The ex-Red spoke about his time in hospital to BBC Sport : "I'd been seriously ill and I've recovered. Thank God I'm out and OK. When somebody tells you you were out for two weeks, it's frightening.
"You can win a championship in two weeks or get relegated! When I think back on it now it now it was, as I say, frightening, but there we are."
Leeds United assistant coach Cameron Toshack spoke about his father's time being unwell: "Recently he was rushed to hospital in Barcelona with Covid and pneumonia so he was there for a couple of days before going on to a ventilator I believe for about eight days."
