"I can't even straighten my legs, so I have to have surgery just to live my daily life."

Pepper Savings Bank's 195-centimeter middle blocker Yum Er Heng will end her season early due to surgery after last season.

"He has cartilage damage and subchondral bone damage in the outer femur of his right knee and will have surgery to remove the meniscus (internal and external damage)," a Pepper Savings Bank official told MK Sports on Monday morning. The date of the surgery has not yet been set, but we are looking at January next year, and the rehabilitation period is expected to last up to nine months.

The former Mokpo Women's College player joined Pepper Savings Bank with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022-23 season. The 194cm tall Mongolian girl was highly anticipated by many fans. She even passed her naturalization test after joining the team. Fans were excited to see her battle with senior middle blockers over 190 centimeters such as Yang Hyo-jin (Hyundai E&C) and Jeong Ho-young (Jung Kwan-jang).

However, after appearing in two matches last season, she was placed on the operating table. He was diagnosed with a re-torn medial and lateral meniscus in his right knee. 바카라사이트

Kim Hyung-sil, the former head coach of Pepper Savings Bank at the time, said, "Erhung had surgery on his right knee when he was a sophomore in high school. It was necessary to perform reconstructive surgery," he said.

After a successful surgery in late November last year, Yeom started the first game of the season against Hyundai E&C on October 15. Head coach Joe Trinzi Pepper started him in the first set and did not play him in the second set. "He needs to be treated differently from the other players," Trinzi said. "He needs to be treated specially." But surgery was inevitable.

But surgery was inevitable. In 2023-24, his second season, he had six points in nine games.

A representative from Pepper Savings Bank said, "It's difficult for him to straighten his leg, so he has to have surgery even for his daily life. We will support him to come back before next season."

With Yeom's departure, the roles of existing resources Ha Hye-jin, Asia Quarter M.J. Phillips (registered name Phillips), and Seo Chae-won become more important.
