England women’s hockey star Ashleigh Ball
will miss the upcoming Commonwealth Games owing to a knee injury she sustained
during the recent World Cup 11/12 place classification against Belgium. The ace
midfielder suffered knee ligament damage and is expected to be out of action
for nine months.
The 28-year-old, who made her senior
international debut in 2008 and played more than 50 internationals, will
undergo a knee reconstruction surgery on a torn ACL over the next few weeks.
It may be recalled that the 2014 World
Cup was a hugely disappointing campaign for the 4th ranked English
side, which just about avoided the wooden spoon.
Ball was a member of the national side
which picked up a bronze each at the 2012 London Olympics, 2010 World Cup and
2010 Commonwealth Games respectively.
She will also miss the Investec London
Cup which kicks off at the Lee Valley Stadium in the Olympic Park from July 9
and runs till June 13.
