WORCESTERSHIRE’S Jennie Bimson has been ruled out of the remainder of the women’s Olympic campaign in Beijing after tearing a calf muscle.
The 31-year-old Leicester club midfielder, playing at her first Games, was injured in last night’s 2-1 victory over New Zealand which kept the team’s medal hopes alive.
Bimson will be replaced by Scotland’s Milne Craig Wes-tern midfielder Laura Bartlett, 20, who was a travelling re-serve with the squad.
