Press Release from Unilever:

Logan suffered a sprained left ankle during warm-up for the game against Rio do Sul. This week, she underwent a series of tests that showed there was no fracture and no need for surgery. Our OH this week will be at rest and then will be reevaluated by the team doctor.

Fiapo, Unilever physioterapist, said: “The foot has over 100 ligaments and, in any torn, we have some ligaments rupture. We can’t affirm still how many of it rupture. It was not a light injury, but also it was not the worse of the injuries. She will spend this week resting and only then start the recovering. She is only imobilized so it forces her to make the rest. Dr Ney will avaliate a resonance this Monday (Feb 4)and then we will have a better notion of the problem.”

She didn’t travel with the team to Sao Paolo this week and will miss the next two regular season games. Fabi said Logan stays in Rio and is working with the physioterapist to do the rahab.

Rumor has it that the season is OVER for the American outside hitter!

Did she punch a table or something?

Of course not! Hah!

The 2 time Olympic silver medalist who currently plays for Brazilian club team Unilever injured her ankle during a league match versus Rio do Sul last week.

Rumor has it that Logan Tom is suffering from ruptured ligaments in her left ankle which would take her months to fully recover and could also mean that her season with Unilever will end prematurely. Oh boy! We hope this rumor is not true at all. This is also the first time we’ve heard of Logan getting seriously injured throughout her career.

Unilever rep has declined to comment on this rumor except that Logan will be sidelined for more than a month and will miss the first round of the Superliga Playoffs.

In case you didn’t know, Unilever is currently ranked #1 in the Brazilian League.
