Chelsea boss Emma Hayes could make a much anticipated return to the touchline for the Blues’ next Women’s Super League clash against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, just five weeks after undergoing an emergency hysterectomy.
Hayes revealed in a statement in October that she was removing herself from the rigours of management in order to recover from the operation amid an ongoing battle with endometriosis. In the 46-year-old’s absence, general manager Paul Green and assistant coach Denise Reddy have deputised commendably, winning all six matches across all competitions.
And Green confirmed after Chelsea’s emphatic 3-1 victory over title rivals Manchester United on Sunday evening that Hayes is likely to make a comeback at Stamford Bridge on November 20.
