Saxton: Heyboer 'doubtful' for weekend
Sophomore forward Laura Heyboer is “doubtful” for Friday, and also may miss Sunday’s game against Wisconsin, MSU women’s soccer head coach Tom Saxton said Wednesday.
“I’d say doubtful for Friday and maybe for the weekend,” Saxton said. “She got it pretty good.”
Saxton also said Heyboer is wearing a boot.
Heyboer, who is second on the team with seven goals this season, severely sprained her ankle Sunday as the Spartans were warming up at Northwestern’s Lakefront Field for their game against the Wildcats.
Saxton said Heyboer saw Dr. Jeff Kovan on Monday morning, but he still reiterated that she’s doubtful, although Heyboer said she was hoping to play.
“She wanted to play and we took a couple looks at it and were basically like, ‘Hey we’re jeopardizing the entire stretch run if we throw her out there,’” Saxton said of playing Heyboer against Northwestern. “It swelled up pretty quickly and she got immediate treatment, and she’s in a boot right now.”
