Disaster has struck the Philippine Women’s National Volleyball Team just two days before it opens its campaign in the 2022 AVC Cup for Women.

Ace spiker Alyssa Valdez finds herself declared out for the tournament after contracting dengue fever.

The Philippine Star’s Joey Villar first reported on the development.
