Everton Women's midfielder Aurora Galli has opened up about a chilling premonition she had before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. In an emotional interview, the Italian international revealed that she dreamt about damaging her anterior cruciate ligament just days before the incident occurred.
A Dream That Came True
Galli, 27, sustained the injury during a Women's Super League match earlier this season. She described how the dream felt unusually vivid and specific. 'I dreamt about my ACL. I saw myself getting injured in a tackle, and I felt the pain. When it happened on the pitch, I couldn't believe it,' she said.
The midfielder admitted that the experience has been both frightening and surreal. 'It's like my subconscious knew something was going to happen. I've never had a premonition like that before,' Galli added.
Recovery Journey
Galli is now in the early stages of her rehabilitation, which she described as mentally and physically challenging. She is determined to return stronger and has been supported by her teammates and coaching staff at Everton.
'The first few weeks were tough, but I have a great team around me. I'm taking it day by day,' she said. Galli also thanked fans for their messages of support, which have helped lift her spirits.
Impact on Everton
Everton manager Brian Sorensen expressed his sympathy for Galli, calling her a key player. 'It's a huge loss for us. Aurora is a talented midfielder, and we'll miss her presence on the pitch. But we know she'll work hard to come back,' Sorensen said.
The club has not set a timeline for Galli's return, but she is expected to miss the remainder of the current season and potentially part of the next.
