Turner: My injury will make me stronger

The defender suffered a rare condition known as a carotid artery dissection last season, which forced her to halt all physical activity for the remainder of the campaign.

Now, with help from club doctors and medical experts, Turner has made a fully recovery.

In an exclusive interview with club media, the 26-year-old said: “I’m so happy. It’s been a really tough journey for me personally and just to be able to get my boots back on and get back on the pitch is an unbelievable feeling. I’m just so happy at the moment.”

In our sit-down chat with Millie, she details what the condition is, explaining that one of her main arteries from her heart to her brain had torn.
