The English soccer goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck has made a serious illness public: The 24-year-old professional soccer player from Manchester City recently suffered a stroke, but is on the mend.
England international soccer player Ellie Roebuck reported on social media on Sunday that she had suffered a stroke. Roebuck said on X and Instagram that she suffered no permanent damage. Thanks to specialist medical support at Man City, she is now on the mend.
In the current season she was not used in the league for Man City and England. “Unfortunately I haven’t felt well for some time,” explained Roebuck, who, according to the English Football Association (FA), has played eleven international matches for the Lionesses so far. Examinations revealed she had suffered a left occipital infarction, which can cause double vision, headaches and loss of balance.
