England netball star Helen Housby ruled out of this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow with back injury

England star Helen Housby will miss the Commonwealth Games due to injury.

The Games are set to take place in Glasgow from July 23 until August 2, but England will be without their mainstay goal shooter.

In April it was revealed that Housby would miss an "extended period" of the Suncorp Super Netball season in Australia due to a back injury, with further scans confirming she will be unable to compete this summer.

Housby, who famously scored England's last-minute winner when they won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, says she is "devastated" to miss out in the Glasgow event.

"Representing Team England is an honour and holds some of my proudest and fondest memories," she said.

"Despite the setback I'm more determined than ever to come back stronger and get back on court as soon as possible, especially with the World Cup in Sydney on the horizon.

"I'm lucky to be surrounded by an incredible support system and I'm very grateful for the love I've received from those closest to me, England Netball, the New South Wales Swifts and the Vitality Roses fans back home.

"I'm excited to see what our girls can achieve this summer and will be giving everything I can off the court to support them in Glasgow. I truly believe our squad can beat anybody and I'm looking forward to watching as a fan this time around."
