Copper Queens' goalkeeper Hazel Nali has returned home to Zambia after a successful left knee tendon reconstruction at St. George's Hospital in New Zealand.

Surgeon Andrew Vincent performed the surgery in August, utilizing a patella tendon graft for the Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Nali's recovery shows positive results, with her scheduled arrival at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka today. The medical team is satisfied with her progress, focusing on the next 3 to 4 months for reinforcing and conditioning her knee.
