Emma Hayes will take a step away from managing Chelsea Women as she recovers from emergency hysterectomy surgery.

In a statement released on Thursday, Hayes revealed she underwent surgery last week as part of her ongoing battle with endometriosis.

Hayes ‘needs time and patience’ in her recovery and she has confirmed that Denise Reddy will make on-field decisions in her absence, assisted by Paul Green. 

‘I’m now in recovery and will need time and patience to return to full health,’ her statement read.

‘I just want to say thank you also to my amazing doctors, Dr Alex Laurence and Dr Sally Harris for their outstanding care. 

‘A huge thank you to our owners, the board and our HR director, Jo Stone, for the support they’ve shown and of course all of my family, staff and players.’

Endometriosis is a long-term condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as in the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

‘I know you’ll respect that my health comes first and at this time I’ve got to prioritise what I need to do for me,’ she added. 

‘I fully expect to make a full recovery and I look forward to seeing you in the foreseeable future.’

EMMA HAYES STATEMENT IN FULL 

Last Tuesday I underwent an emergency hysterectomy following my ongoing battle with endometriosis. I’m now in recovery and will need time and patience to return to full health.

I just want to say thank you also to my amazing doctors, Dr Alex Laurence and Dr Sally Harris for their outstanding care. A huge thank you to our owners, the board and our HR director, Jo Stone, for the support they’ve shown and of course all of my family, staff and players.

Throughout my absence, Denise Reddy will be making the on-field decisions along with Paul Green who will be carrying out all press obligations on my behalf.

We have built a tremendous team over many years and we’ve adopted a very multi-disciplinary approach so that if situations like this arise, we are capable of being able to respond to the challenge. We have full confidence in Paul, Denise and all of the staff.

We also know the team are very special and we have no doubt they’ll do everything to maintain their high standards.

To our fans, you’ve had to listen to me bellowing from the other side of the pitch every week but now I want to hear you even louder because I’ll be sitting at home watching the team on the television until my return.

I know you’ll respect that my health comes first and at this time I’ve got to prioritise what I need to do for me. I fully expect to make a full recovery and I look forward to seeing you in the foreseeable future.

All the best,

Your Manager, 

Emma
