PH team asks injured Dolor to stay in camp

Greg Dolor, who broke his finger while training in Korea with the Philippine national team, will stay with the squad until it finishes training camp early next month.

The decision was made by the entire national team members led by team captain Johnvic De Guzman, who said in Filipino: “We came here as one team, we leave here as one team.”

Fellow Far Eastern University spiker Peter Quiel will occupy Dolor’s spot in the roster that will see action in the Southeast Asian Games on Aug. 19 to 30 in Kuala Lumpur.

Team head coach Sammy Acaylar said Dolor’s injury gave the team an even stronger bond in Suwon City as they try to give the Philippines a medal in the SEA Games.

Dolor was discharged from Soo Hospital last Friday and was set to leave for Manila the same evening before the team asked him to stay.
