In a statement on October 13, Hayes, o pened up about her battle with endometriosis and revealed she would be taking temporary leave from her post as part of her recovery. General manager Paul Green and assistant coach Denise Reddy have been deputising for Hayes in her absence, however Green has confirmed the 46-year-old is likely to make a comeback at Stamford Bridge on November 20.
