Hyundai E&C junior setter Kim Dae-in suffers from flu...Heungkuk Life absent
No. 1 Hyundai E&C will be without star setter Kim Dain (25) when it hosts second-ranked Heungkuk Life in the women's professional volleyball league.
"Kim Dain has the flu," said Hyundai E&C head coach Kang Sung-hyung on Tuesday ahead of the women's professional volleyball match against Heungkuk Life at Incheon Samsan World Gymnasium, "and she is currently in quarantine and will miss today's game."
"Kim Sara is planning to replace Kim Dain as a starter," Kang said, adding, "Kim Sara doesn't move fast, but she is stable and has good fastball timing."
As for Kim Dain's physical condition, Kang said, "She will be able to play in the next game."
Despite Kim's absence, the team is in good spirits. The team has recently won eight straight games and is on the rise.
After languishing in the middle of the pack at the start of the season, Hyundai E&C's 12 wins, 4 losses, and 37 points have propelled them to the top of the standings, just one point ahead of Heungkuk Life (13 wins, 3 losses, and 36 points).
Heungkuk Life, on the other hand, has been playing a lot of full-set matches and its players are starting to show signs of stamina issues.
Heungkuk Life also lost to Korea Expressway Corporation on the 17th, with a set score of 2-3.
"We've played a lot of full-set matches, and we lost our focus when we had a chance to win quickly," said Heungkuk Life coach Marcello Abondanza before the match, adding, "We will definitely win today's match."
"The players' physical strength has dropped due to the tight schedule and frequent traveling, but I hope they can recover their mental strength and overcome it well," Abondanza added. 메이저사이트
