Initial tests reveal no fracture on Galanza’s injured ankle

Adamson can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now, after initial tests revealed no fracture on the ankle of star spiker Jema Galanza after a brutal injury Monday night in the Premier Volleyball League.

As per Virtual Playground, a sports management agency which handles Galanza, X-ray and CT scan results were negative.

“Thank God! @jemagalanza Xray and CT Scan results are out and it says NO Fracture. Shell be confined for observation and further tests,” Virtual Playground posted on Twitter.
