The statement said: “Everyone at the club is sending love to Kevin Campbell and his family, following news that our former striker is very unwell.
“We’re thinking of you.”
It is unclear what Campbell’s illness is.

He went on to score 46 goals during a seven-year stint in the senior team from 1988.
Campbell earned four caps for the England U-21s and one for England B.
He holds the record of being the English player who has scored the most goals in the Premier League without earning a senior cap for his country.
In September 1992 he was on stand-by for a friendly against Spain, but this was the nearest he got to being in the senior squad.
