Cullen Ready for Team GB


Crista Cullen insists she has totally recovered from her ankle injury and is ready to play her part in Team GB's quest to win Olympic gold in London.

The Boston-born Leicester Ladies defender, 26, sustained the injury at the Olympic 2012 test event in May and missed the Investec London Cup in June.

But Cullen told BBC Lincolnshire: "It was frustrating but I am back on the pitch now and in full training.

"There are no concerns. I will be fully fit come the Games."

Cullen rolled her ankle when scoring the second of her two penalty corner goals in the 2-0 win over world champions Argentina at the Olympic Park.

She added: "It was a frustrating time but you can only manage it as best you can and try to stay positive.

"We have a great medical team who supported me through the whole process so I am confident that I will be fine at the start of the Games."
