Fans need to wait a little more.
Chery Tiggo Crossovers hardly needed Mylene Paat in their 25-21, 25-23, 25-22 win over Farm Fresh Foxies in the PVL Second All-Filipino Conference on Tuesday.
Without the Invitational Conference MVP, the Crossovers turned to Cess Robles in a thrilling third set that saw them erase an 18-10 deficit on the way to the opening-day win.
Coach Aaron Velez later said his prized spiker is still recovering from a swollen right foot.
“Rest assured na minamadali namin, minamadali pero mine-make sure namin na nasa 100% siya,” said Velez after the match at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“As of now, she still has 20% swelling sa kanyang foot.”
Velez didn’t divulge the timetable for her return. But the Crossovers would definitely need her to be at her best as the competition progresses.
“Not going into details pero rest assured with the fire of Mylene malaking tulong ‘yun. At the same time we want to showcase also her talents for the fans and sumusuporta sa amin,” he said.
Chery Tiggo will test the mettle of newcomer Galeries Tower Highrisers on Thursday.
