UConn women’s basketball’s awful injury luck has continued, even on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Amid a dominant tournament at the U19 World Cup in Madrid, redshirt freshman Jana El Alfy went down with an apparent non-contact injury in Egypt’s final game. On Tuesday, UConn announced that the redshirt freshman will miss the entire 2023-24 season with an Achilles tendon rupture. She’ll undergo surgery at UConn Health “later this week”, according to the school.
After missing a free throw, El Alfy took a step toward the ball and immediately went down. She needed to be helped off the court in a wheelchair.
