Scans have confirmed Origin Australian Diamond Sunday Aryang sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee during last night's Constellation Cup decider in Christchurch.
Aryang will undergo further medical consultation to plan the next steps in her recovery.
Diamonds head coach Stacey Marinkovich said the team is rallying behind Aryang.
“It is such difficult news for Sunday, who is such an important person and player within our Diamonds environment,” Marinkovich said.
“She’s a valued member of our team, and we’ll support her every step of the way through her recovery.
"We know with the support network around her, Sunday will rally and be back stronger than ever.”
Netball Australia and the Origin Australian Diamonds extend their full support to Sunday as she begins her recovery.
