“The time has come. Many times, I have said that football will leave you before you leave it,” the striker wrote on Twitter.
“Yesterday, the doctors told me to go see the surgeon, sooner rather than later, to get a prosthetic to replace my hip and to try and go about my everyday life, as normally as possible. Unfortunately, my body has said ‘enough’.
