“Without football, I felt worthless...”Chloe Kelly on her ACL injury

A year has passed since I suffered my injury. Sometimes I think it has flown by but then when I break it down, it was actually a really tough journey. Looking back at that moment, to be honest, I didn’t know the magnitude of what had happened… I just knew my knee was sore! I had the pain relief whistle at the time, which helped, and then I had the scan the next day to see what the extent of the injury was. I remember waking up and although I wasn’t in pain anymore, I couldn’t bend my knee.
It feels so good to be back. Being back out there on the pitch has been brilliant. I feel fit, I feel confident and I feel like myself again. Although I know it’s going to take a while until I feel 100% and back to my best, I know it will come. It just takes time. When you’ve been away for so long, you appreciate football so much more and I’m just enjoying myself, looking forward to each game. I feel like a kid again!
