## Summary

Leonie Fiebich has revealed that a stress fracture in her left foot kept her out of nearly two months of the WNBA season. The diagnosis sheds light on the injury behind her absence from the New York Liberty and the demanding rehabilitation she undertook to return.

Fiebich said the fracture affected the metatarsals, the five long bones in the middle of the foot, and that she felt pain while running, walking and defending during the Women’s World Cup in Berlin. She returned to the Liberty on 22 August and played their final three games before the break; she later helped Germany finish fourth, its best World Cup result. For New York, she averaged 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists, shooting 41.2 per cent from three-point range.
