Martin Ho says that Jess Naz has been ‘in good spirits’ following the news of her rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament last weekend.

As reported earlier in the week, Jess suffered an ACL in the win over Aston Villa last Sunday and she has begun her rehabilitation process with our medical staff, and will undergo surgery.

“She's doing okay,” Martin told the media, when asked how the forward is doing following the news. “Whoever suffers an ACL injury is disappointed and frustrated, especially with Jess having had one before.

“She's been in good spirits in the last few days she been in. Although we know she will be disappointed inside.”

Then asked how much of a loss Jess is to the squad, he added: “Any player we lose is significant, and Jess is a big player for us. First, we look after her from a health and wellbeing perspective. The club will ensure that.

“Then we look at what we can do. We have good players in the squad who now have the opportunity to step up.”
