Chelsea defender Millie Bright has had a knee operation a day after the England international made herself unavailable for selection for this summer’s European Championships.
The 31-year-old centre-back withdrew from the Euros on Wednesday, saying she was unable to “give 100% mentally or physically” in what she described as “one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make”.
“Chelsea can confirm defender Millie Bright has today undergone minor knee surgery”, said the Stamford Bridge club.
“Millie will begin a period of rehabilitation with the support of the club’s medical department”.
In a message on social media, Bright added that it had been a “successful op” and now the “road to recovery begins”.
