Last month, the hockey legend aspired to go to neighbouring India for a surgery where the health facilities were much better according to the player.
He had reached out to the Indian government for a visa so that he could get the needed treatment, however, doctors in Pakistan have said that the former goalkeeper could be treated in the country.
Mansoor Ahmed represented Pakistan hockey in 338 international matches during 1986 – 2000. He played three consecutive World Cups and won 1994 World Cup Hockey Championship (World Cup).
In his career, Mansoor earned 12 gold,12 silver and 8 bronzes medal in international hockey tournaments.
