The football world is in mourning as Manchester City's Paul Scholes announced his retirement from professional football following an injury sustained during the club's Champions League quarter-final match against Borussia Dortmund.

Scholes' career has been marked by numerous accolades and awards, including two Ballon d'Ors, which he shared with Lionel Messi. However, injuries have taken their toll on him, and it seems that he will not be able to continue playing for the club.

Scholes made headlines when he was injured in the 2015-16 season and was forced to miss several months of play due to a knee injury. He returned to the pitch just before the start of the 2017-18 season, but the injury continued to affect his performance throughout the campaign.

Injuries have plagued Scholes throughout his career, and he has struggled to recover quickly enough to return to full strength. His injury history suggests that he may never be fully recovered, which could leave him out of action for some time.

It's unclear how long Scholes will be sidelined, but it's clear that he won't be able to continue playing for Manchester City or any other club. The club's board has reportedly offered him a new contract, but there's no word yet on whether he'll accept it.

Scholes' departure comes after a tumultuous few years for the club, which has struggled to find success under new ownership and manager. It's a sad reminder of the struggles faced by clubs across all sports, and the importance of taking care of your health and well-being.

As Scholes prepares to say goodbye to his home town of Liverpool, he will be remembered as one of the greatest players of all time, and his legacy will live on through the memories of those who knew him.
