Marta Peiró has announced that she is hanging up her boots momentarily. At least until she finishes overcoming an endometriosis that she has been dragging since last year. A painful illness that has prevented her from reaching her best level. Her body and head have asked her to stop and the player has decided that what is important now is her health. She has thus announced it on her social networks and her club with a statement. “It was during her appendicitis operation last October that Marta Peiro learned the difficult news: she suffers from endometriosis. Once the diagnosis is revealed, a brave Marta decides not to give up and resumes training. She even played in the Liga de UEFA Women’s Champions in Turin on the last day of the group stage. Faced with too strong and persistent pain, Marta ended up making a decision, reluctantly,” the Swiss club said in its statement.
The player wrote a letter on her social networks telling everything that happened. This season she has played 15 games, eight in the league and seven in the Champions League, with a total of 721 minutes and two goals.
“It’s hard to know what to say right now, but if I’ve learned anything these last few weeks, it’s that you always have to listen to your body and your mind, and right now they both tell me it’s time to stop. After the appendicitis operation in the past In October, medical tests revealed that I suffer from endometriosis. At that time we started a treatment that is proving to be harder than expected, causing side effects that are incompatible with professional football and with the dynamics that my team is following to achieve its goals. After after several weeks of training and having tried at all times to be 100%, it makes me very frustrated to see myself so far from my best physical version and that causes my mental health to also be very damaged.Until my body and mind are well and accept the treatment and be able to carry out my normal life and that of a footballer, I think that stopping is the best solution, both for me and for the club that is giving it to me everything and to whom I will always be grateful: Servette FC.
I appreciate the support and understanding that Servette has given me, to each and every one of the people who are part of the club, especially the coaching staff, players and Richard from the board because they have shown me that above everything is the human quality. I will be sorry not to be able to be on a day-to-day basis, but they will have all my support from the outside. I will be one more ‘Servettienne’ and I know that this team is capable of meeting all the objectives we have.
It won’t be easy, but this locker room has already shown that history can be made with hard work. We’ll see you soon on the lawn. To infinity with you, team. Allez Servette”.
