LA Salle continues to be haunted by the injury bug as Kib Montalbo is expected to be sidelined from four to six weeks due to a fractured left thumb.
The senior guard, sources bared, becomes the second Green Archer to be sidelined for a long spell after Kiwi big man Taane Samuel, who suffered a fractured leg in the team's first game of the season.
Montalbo is averaging 3.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals for La Salle in UAAP Season 81, where the Green Archers currently sit at 2-1 win-loss.
Without the Ilonggo playmaker, La Salle coach Louie Gonzalez is expected to entrust more of the playmaking duties to Aljun Melecio and Joshua Caracut for the Green Archers, which is now down to just 11 men.
