Melbourne, Sep 5 (PTI) Key defender Teneal Attard will not be a part of Australia''s women''s hockey squad for the Commonwealth Games after suffering a knee injury in the team''s loss to the Netherlands at the World Cup in Argentina. The news is particularly devastating for Attard, as it is her third injury, having only returned to the squad 12 months ago from a separate injury on her left knee, Hockey Australia said today on its website. Hockeyroos coach Frank Murray said Attard still has a chance to be part of the 2012 London Olympics squad and that captain Madonna Blyth may go back in defence to cover the loss of Attard. "When she gets back into Perth she will get it operated on and hopefully in the next 12 months, or even sooner, get back on track and is still a chance for the London Olympics," Murray said.
