Piazon later wrote on Instagram: "We are a team of warriors, and we will fight to the end.

"Thanks for your messages of support and concern. My shoulder has now been put back into place.

"I'll have it cared for and treated so I am ready for the next game.

"We still have many battles ahead of us, and we will always win them together as a team."
