As England and Barcelona goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck sips her flat white in the Spanish sunshine outside her favourite coffee shop, she looks like a player who has the world at her feet.
But this is a very different picture from 12 months ago.
Last February she was told that, at the age of 24, she had suffered a stroke and was left fearing she would never play football again.
"I'm lucky because I should have lost my vision," she tells BBC Sport. "I should have lost my peripheral vision for sure. The majority of people that suffer a stroke [like mine] do that. So, I probably should have been blind, which is quite a miracle that that didn't happen."
Roebuck was part of the Lionesses squad that won the Euros in 2022 and reached the World Cup final in the summer of 2023. But the former Manchester City keeper could never have predicted that six months after that match in Sydney, her world would be turned upside down.
This is Roebuck's story - one of sport's remarkable comebacks.
'For peace of mind, I need a head scan'
I could have lost my vision - Roebuck on stroke
After returning from World Cup duty in Australia, Roebuck's season did not go to plan at Manchester City – a club she had been at since the age of 15, making her debut as a teenager in 2016.
The Sheffield-born keeper found herself frozen out of the first team and did not make an appearance in the first half of the season, but she was also struggling off the pitch.
It was around Christmas 2023 when Roebuck first started to feel like something was "not quite right", although she could not work out what it was.
She felt nauseous, dizzy, fatigued, a bit off balance and her eyesight started to be affected with black dots impairing her vision.
A ball had hit the back of her head in training, nothing unusual for a goalkeeper, so her symptoms were put down to that.
She was treated for concussion at her club but as January progressed Roebuck was certain it had to be something else.
"I knew it wasn't concussion," she said. "I've had concussion. I just knew something wasn't right. I said 'for my peace of mind I need a head scan, something is not right and I know it'."
When she got the call from the club doctor a couple of days after the scan asking her to come in immediately, she knew it was not going to be good news.
"It filled me with panic, but I never had in my mind that it was a stroke.
"He sat me down and was like, 'you've had an infarct in your left occipital lobe'. I asked 'what's that in English">
