Emma Hayes has revealed she had an emergency hysterectomy last Tuesday and will need “time and patience to return to full health”. The Chelsea Women manager did not say how long she expected to be away from work.
Hayes wrote in a statement on Chelsea’s website that the operation was related to her “ongoing battle with endometriosis” – a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
