00:00 How did it happen? It was a freak accident. His legs just got caught between another player's
00:07 legs. It was in a contact session, it was a bit of a team run where we had two opposing
00:13 sides and we were painting pictures for each other. It was just unfortunate. His leg got
00:19 stuck between another player's leg. I'm not sure if the detail of the injury, but it's
00:27 serious in the fact that he's not available for the World Cup.
00:30 A big blow for us as a team, but also not just on the field, but off the field. You're
00:33 going to miss a character like Malcolm Marks, especially when he and kids are together.
00:37 They really brought a lot of joy and a lot of laughter to the team. Also as a player,
00:44 before you even get to the World Cup, you've been training so hard, working so hard for
00:48 the last four years to make sure that you're ready and prepared for the World Cup and then
00:51 a freak accident happens like that. It's always a major blow. I'm hoping and praying that
00:58 he has speedy recovery and will definitely be missed on the team.
