MRI examinations at Montenegro have allowed Jelena Dubljevic breathe a sigh of relief.

Sort of.

She will be able to avoid surgery which she though could be neccessary, but expects that she will have to undergo rehab for about two months and hopes to be ready of ZVVZ USK Praha camp which starts at September 25.

MRI’s have shown that a small part of a spine discus has been dislocated which causes her the pain.

Dubljevic sustained injury on Saturday in Montenegro’s game against Poland, when attempting to start a drive she felt sharp pain in her back.
