Fran Kirby (30) returned to compete after a major illness that sidelined him for a long time and from which it was feared he would never play again. Today, the English international Chelseaa leader in the blue locker room, raised his voice in a documentary produced by the club to denounce the physical complexes that exist in women’s football.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of body you have or what you look like in a matching dress or shirt. A healthy body should be encouraged. If that means you have to eat more, then you’re doing right thing,” he said. There is a scene in the documentary where Kirby arrives at practice wearing a coat on a sunny day. “Why are you wearing a jacket?” heard someone screaming. “Because they call me fat all the time,” he replied. Emma Hayes, the team’s coach, congratulated him for opening up about a sensitive subject.
