Bishop må hjerteopereres

Tidligere i sommer kom sjokknyheten om at vår mestscorende spiss de siste sesongene, Colby Bishop, må hjerteopereres. Han er ute på ubestemt tid.

NYHETER: Colby Bishop har vært en stor suksess i Pompey-trøya etter at han ble hentet fra Accrington Stanley sommeren 2022. Han står med 45 mål på 100 kamper og har vært toppscorer for Pompey i begge sesongene.

Nå var alle spente på om Bishop ville klare å fortsette med sine mange scoringer også på nivået opp, men så kom en pressemelding fra Portsmouth FC. Der står det at de har oppdaget en hjertefeil og Bishop. 27-åringen må hjerteopereres og er ute på ubestemt tid.

Pressemelding fra Portsmouth FC 30. juli 2024

During a routine heart scan as part of the club’s pre-season medical checks, a potential risk was identified to Colby Bishop.

Following subsequent discussions with cardiologists, our medical team and Colby, it was decided that the best course of action would be for the player to undergo immediate surgery to rectify this matter.

Everyone at Portsmouth FC is fully supportive of Colby and his family.

The club will update further on Colby’s expected return to action once his rehabilitation programme has been determined.

 

Colby Bishops offisielle uttalelse

Definitely not the start to the season I expected receiving this news. It’s been a really uncertain time for myself, my wife and new baby.

Despite the difficult circumstance, I am extremely grateful to have been referred to a world-leading expert in a ground-breaking procedure to get me back to full fitness.

I would like to thank everyone at Portsmouth Football Club for their ongoing support throughout. I look forward to playing in front of you all at Fratton Park on my return.
