Share

Ellie Roebuck says it is 'a dream' to return to football after suffering a stroke last year.

Ellie Roebuck said it was a "dream" to return to football after she made her first appearance since suffering a stroke earlier this year.

The goalkeeper sustained a "left occipital infarct" in February 2024 before leaving Manchester City for Barcelona in the summer.

And she completed her return by making her debut for the Catalan club during Saturday's 4-1 win over Real Betis.

Roebuck wrote on Instagram: "303 days later. The goal was always to play the game I love again and at times it felt impossible, but to do it for Barcelona is a dream.
