“It's hard to say now. Even the doctor, it's Doctor Randy Molo who is a very well-known sports ortho-surgeon. He's hesitant to jump into a diagnosis at this stage, so he wants to test,” said Molina. “He has seen Lycha, he wants to test it after three weeks and then maybe to do another MRI.”

“I think hindi convincing yung first MRI because it was done immediately after the injury. It was done Sunday evening after the game in Ynares, so he wants to do it again. We're doing something now with Lycha, so we'll know at that time. We'll see if she can play again this year. By April 22 or 23, text niyo si Coach George. We'll update you for sure,” he added.
