In a report in Stadium.ru, Russia's head coach Valentina Rodionenko has revealed that Aliya Mustafina will travel to Germany post-Glasgow for surgery on her knee ligaments.  The extent of the injury is unclear but Rodionenko says that it was during a period of rest that the problem became evident.  Aliya is in good spirits and it is expected that she will be ready to compete in Rio if not at the Europeans.  

Of perhaps more immediate concern is the health of Russian team captain Ksenia Afanasyeva who has been suffering from a kidney infection recently. Her participation at Worlds will be dependent on how she feels.

Good luck to all the girls, and our best wishes to Aliya and Ksenia for a full recovery!
