Van Damme’s Belgian top-flight club, Cercle Brugge, said “words are not enough to describe what we feel” following the news on Tuesday.
The goalkeeper was first diagnosed with the disease over five years ago.
“It is with great sadness we report that our friend and team-mate Van Damme has fought his long and uneven battle against leukaemia,” the club said.
“Miguel, your perseverance and strength to go for it [again] over and over, setback after setback, was admirable.
