Mun Yee and Wendy latest divers to join crock list

Mun Yee is nursing a right knee injury and is ruled out of the ongoing FINA Diving Grand Prix at Bukit Jalil.

KUALA LUMPUR: National divers Leong Mun Yee and Wendy Ng Yan Yee  are the latest big names to join the crock list.

Head coach Yang Zhuliang has confirmed that both divers will also miss the ongoing FINA Diving Grand Prix in Bukit Jalil.

The national team had earlier lost their top divers Ooi Tze Liang (shin) and Pandelela Rinong (back) to injuries.

Mun Yee is nursing a right knee injury while Wendy has a shoulder problem.

The pair sustained the injuries during the recent 10-day training stint in China.

And team officials are taking no chances, with the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro coming up next year.

“We are monitoring their conditions and we’ll decide if they are fit to travel next week for the Australian GP (in Gold Coast, Nov 29-31),” said Zhuliang.

In the absence of the duo, Zhuliang is expected to field Cheong Jun Hoong and Nur Dhabitah Sabri for Saturday’s women 10m platform synchro and Sunday's 3m springboard synchro.
