Julien Lyneel To Miss World League & World Champs?

We’re like…

The charismatic French outside hitter has posted this message a few days ago:

“It is already confirmed. I broke my cruciate ligaments.

I’m very sad and disappointed of this situation.

I want to say thank you to all of you for supporting me and wish luck to my friends from my team, who will fight along all summer. Ahead few months of peace and rest. I’m gonna share this time with my family, my brother, my girlfriend, our kid and friends and then return stronger than ever.”

It’s been a really tough season for the left handed spiker.

Be Strong Julien!
