Absolutely devastating news to share that shooter Grace Nweke has been ruled out of the Netball World Cup after scans today confirmed a partial tear in her patella tendon. Travelling reserve Tiana Metuarau has been called into the playing 12 for the remainder of the tournament.
@SilverFernsNZ So very sad for Grace. Heal well. 🤗 #NWC2023 #SilverFerns
@SilverFernsNZ It’s devastating for Grace and wishing her a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
@SilverFernsNZ The impact on the Grace-less team will be profound. Sadly their chances of winning the World Cup, despite the coaches' brave smiles and cheerful faces, have dropped dramtically.
@SilverFernsNZ Who is gonna fight against Bruce now 💔😭
@SilverFernsNZ I hope she has a speedy recovery
@SilverFernsNZ This is awful news, wishing her a swift recovery ☹️
@SilverFernsNZ Big bummer. Always rather play a full strength NZ. However I honestly feel this could be a blessing in disguise it’ll force nz to play the moving circle against Jamaica. It’ll take sterling out of the game more .. I don’t reckon nz would try it if grace was in the team
@SilverFernsNZ Speedy recovery Grace - look forward to seeing you back on court v soon and continuing your amazing netball journey. My faith in the Ferns to deliver remains - and I’m not even a Kiwi! 😂
@SilverFernsNZ Such a shame for us in World netball and devastating for Grace and the Silver Ferns. Best wishes for a swift recovery ❤️🩹
