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. please log in to view this image Colby said: “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.”
Read this morning that Colby had the operation last week and it all went well, and he is now out of hospital, and recuperating at home.
