England goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck, who nearly lost her eyesight after a stroke at 24, discovered it was due to a heart defect. She expressed gratitude for the diagnosis, noting it's a miracle she retained her vision. After surgery, she transferred to Barcelona in the summer of 2024, reflecting on a poorly managed final season at Manchester City. Roebuck emphasized her struggles with communication with the management, highlighting the challenges she faced during recovery and her determination to return to the England squad.
Roebuck expressed gratitude for having found a reason for her stroke through the diagnosis of a heart defect, indicating relief that it was treatable.
The majority of people that suffer a stroke like mine do that. So, I probably should have been blind, which is quite a miracle that that didn't happen.
I felt like maybe my relationship with the manager got fractured... I don't know whether that was me, maybe not hearing the clear communication.
I knew that it could be closed and I could move on. I was almost excited that I was going in for heart surgery.
