    BACARRA, ILOCOS NORTE — Choco Mucho star Maddie Madayag suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury on her left knee, the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) club said in a social media post.

    “We are all praying for your speedy recovery from your ACL injury. Nothing can stop the heart of a true Titan!” the team wrote on its official Twitter page.

    Maddie Madayag injury

    The Ateneo standout suffered a torn ACL on her right knee in 2016. She recovered after a year and delivered a UAAP championship in 2019, the same year she played for the Philippine women’s volleyball team in the 30th Southeast Asian Games.

    On Wednesday, it was Madayag's left knee that got injured after the Flying Titans skipper fell awkwardly after her attack got blocked by Ria Meneses in the fourth set of their battle for third against Petro Gazz.
