Team Prodigy suffered a major blow this week when team captain Yiyang suffered a fracture to his fibula, ruling him out for the rest of the season. This adds on the already accumulating list of injuries that have plagued the team's start to the season: Yiarn, Hongyao, Jiahui, Shawn and Bahrin. Fortunately for Team Prodigy however, Yiarn and Bahrin were available to play last Sunday, which saw the team snatch their first win in five matches.
Regarding Yiyang's injury status, Team Prodigy manager Kelvin Chua said: "I have yet to hear from the team physio. I don't know how serious it is but it does look like he will be out for the season. It's a blow, no doubt about it, we'll sorely miss his presence in midfield. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed, it'll be wonderful if we can have him back for the last few games."
When asked about his thoughts about Sunday's win, Kelvin commented: "We have had a tough start to the season, everything seemed to be going wrong for us. Players were missing through injury, work commitments and driving lessons and at times we were stretched even trying to field eleven men on the pitch. On the field, it was difficult for us to accept the way we lost the lead three times in a row, and seeing us at the bottom of the table was hard to bear. Thankfully, we won today, and hopefully this is going to galvanise us to win more games, which a team of our quality should be doing more often."
Team Prodigy's fans and wags, meanwhile, urged the players to capitalize on the hard fought victory on sunday to kick start the team into action. However, numerous warnings were sent to players to take care, amidst the growing incidence of leg fracture injuries in soccer matches. Team Prodgy is set to play Los Diablos on the 7th of March. It will be interesting to see how the affair will turn out, at a time when both teams are desperate to avoid losing any more games this season.
