Manchester City and England goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck has revealed she is recovering from an 'occipital infarct' - but has suffered 'no lasting damage to her brain function or vision'. Roebuck has not featured for City in the Women's Super League this season, with 19-year-old Khiara Keating deployed by manager Gareth Taylor, and she has also dropped out of the England squad.
'Unfortunately, having not felt well for a little while, I had some tests and it was discovered that I had suffered a left occipital infarct. Thankfully, there is no lasting damage to my brain function or vision. 'I've had many weeks of follow-up tests, specialist appointments, and with the support of the medical team at the club I'm on the road to recovery. 'It's great to be back with the girls, working on my rehab and more importantly feeling back to being normal Ellie.
