Injury Update: Round 2

Gabrielle Keegan

Jovic will miss Saturday afternoon's clash after sustaining an injury to her right foot in the side’s Round 1 match against the Sunshine Coast Lightning.

Jovic is expected to make a recovery for the Magpies’ Round 3 home game against the Thunderbirds, but will undergo testing throughout the week.

Training partner Maggie Lind will step up in the mid-court in the absence of Jovic, rewarded for her impressive pre-season form and leadership shown throughout her time at the Magpies.

Lind returned to the Holden Centre this season having been a part of the club’s 2019 Super Club championship side.

The 27-year-old has played a key role for the City West Falcons in the Victorian Netball League, where she has established herself as a competitive wing-attack known for her strength from the circle's edge.

The Magpies take on the Giants this Saturday at 3pm at Ken Rosewall Arena.
