Ellie Roebuck has been given between the posts in Manchester City and obvious for Sarina Weigman in the national team. But after the World Cup silver in Australia and New Zealand, she suddenly disappeared.
Instead, she has been replaced by Khiara Keating in club and national teams.

Now comes the explanation for the absence.
“Now I feel it is the right time for me to share what has been happening lately. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel very well and after some tests it turned out that I had a stroke in the back of my head. Thankfully, I have no permanent damage to my brain or my vision. I have taken new tests and with the help of the club I am on the road to recovery. It has been really tough,” she writes.
The goalkeeper further writes that she is now very positive and ready for her return.
“If this year has taught me anything, it’s that I’m strong and I’ll give it my all.”
