Tanacha (26), a key resource in the Asian quarter of the Korea Expressway Corporation volleyball team, was out of power due to an injury. The Korea Expressway Corporation's No. 1 regular league team, which faced a major negative factor of the main striker's departure at the end of the season, is also on alert.

The Korea Expressway Corporation announced Tanacha's injury status on its official social network service (SNS) on the 25th. The club announced, "Tanacha was diagnosed with a ruptured outer ligament in his right ankle through a hospital diagnosis this morning and was diagnosed with 6-8 weeks of recovery and rehabilitation."

Tanacha fell down after stepping on the opponent's foot and losing balance during the blocking process of the match against Hyundai Engineering & Construction in the women's division of Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on the 24th. At the time, Tanacha was unable to get up on his own, complaining of great pain, and eventually exited the stadium on a stretcher.

The news of the injury is painful to the Korea Expressway Corporation. Tanacha, who scored 414 points in 30 games this season, helped the team in both offense and defense, including 8th in scoring, 40.5% in attack success rate, and 6th in receiving, is unlikely to return until the final round of the regular league.

However, according to the announcement, the Korea Expressway Corporation will leave open the possibility of returning to volleyball in the spring and watch the situation without a substitute. If the rehabilitation is smooth, he will be able to return to the playoffs at the end of March or the championship game in early April.

Fortunately, the team's main gun avoided the worst. Moma, who faced a similar situation in the same game, was confirmed as a simple sprained left ankle after hospital diagnosis this morning. After recovering, Moma will participate in training this week to check her condition.

The Korea Expressway Corporation is currently facing its biggest crisis. He has maintained an overwhelming lead by winning 10 consecutive games at the beginning of the season, but he slowed down to 2 wins and 4 losses in the fifth round and allowed pursuit. It was the first women's team to reach 60 points by adding one point due to the loss of the last Hyundai Construction match, but it is only two points apart from the second-place Hyundai Engineering & Construction (58 points). It is a thin sheet of ice that can be overturned depending on the result of one game.
