Vlaeminck injury worry for Australia women

Australia has a major injury worry on the eve of the T20 Women’s World Cup after fiery young fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck appeared at an event here wearing a ‘moon boot’. Ahead of Friday night’s opening match against India, Vlaeminck is believed to have suffered a stress-related foot injury.

The cumbersome device she sported on Wednesday is officially called a controlled ankle motion walking boot and is used in the treatment of severe sprains, fractures and tendon or ligament tears in the ankle or foot.

Vlaeminck was seen wearing the device at Sydney airport and appeared with the squad at an event at the Sydney Opera House. Teammate Ellyse Perry told reporters the Aussies would know more in the next 24 hours but that initial signs suggest it’s a serious injury. “’Tay’ unfortunately has a new fashion accessory to her foot, which the medical staff are working through,” Perry said wryly on Wednesday evening.

“Anything that requires a moon boot isn’t overly great. The whole squad has their fingers and toes crossed for Tay but I don’t think it’s overly positive. We should know in the next 24 hours,” said Perry.
