SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY boss Darren Moore has revealed how coronavirus-induced pneumonia “got hold of me very quickly” as he works his way back to full fitness.
The 47-year-old has suffered complications, including blood clots on the lungs, after contracting Covid-19.
“I keep fit, I am active, but this got hold of me very quickly and that was the alarming thing,” Moore told the Sky Bet Championship club’s website.
“I went downhill rapidly but over the past few days I do feel my body is getting back to where it should be as an individual. That’s a big positive because my body has not been my own.
“By resting I am building my strength and energy levels which will allow my body to strengthen.
“I am chomping at the bit to get back but I have to listen to the medical advice.”
Former West Brom boss Moore left Doncaster at the start of March to take over at Hillsborough.
But the Owls are in serious danger of being relegated to League One as they are four points adrift of 21st-placed Derby with two games to play.
Moore, who has no set time scale for a return to work, said: “I am gutted, really gutted, because I want to be there. I want to be there at the heart of it, but I have to rest.
“I would like to say a big, big thank you for the unbelievable support I have received. I have been overwhelmed and touched by the love.”
murphy is a decent player when he breaks out of his fullback line every so often in fairness.
Needs a haircut though.
Ah will ye tell the truth ffs Paul, he’s shitel.
decent player if he played eith a team that try to atrack and supply him he would do damage but unfortunately he spends all his time going back into his own back line.
Would love a player like Murphy in our forward line!
Don’t be lying Paul. Tell the truth.
Sure Longford beat them! Can’t pick and choose what competition count!
That injury time free was never a free. Not a great ref .Going by today’s performance.
A poor game from both sides. Yellow card for mc Hugh was terrible the replay on Tg4 showed the donegal player pushing his face repeatedly into the ground. When a team doesn’t even try to score a winning point when in possession in the last minutes of the game it sums up their mentality.
Come the summer half of that team won’t be starting , still undefeated. Soft free at the end
Except for ucd a few weeks ago. And Longford last year.
@hugh stop being a dick the record was only ever mentioned as league and championship matches your being ridiculous good chap.
The record is always mentioned as a winning streak with no caveat attached that it doesn’t count the byrne cup. Saying we’ve won 32 games in a row except these two so we won’t count those competitions is ridiculous.
The metropolitans couldn’t be bother to comment on his own teams result but found time to comment on Mayo last night bless!
You tend to be fairly active on Dublin articles yourself Spoddgy.
Come on now, lets not let the gaa articles degenerate into the liverpool/united ones.
I don’t comment on articles to spew anti Dublin rubbish respect where respect is due!
Mayo for ham
Poor game in terrible conditions! Never a free! Dublin had enough chances to close out game before the free! Still only February! I’m sure Jim Gavin won’t be getting to excited about this result!
Donegal must be spending all there money on diving coaches
Oh he woke up!
