GB Hockey player Sam Ward suffered vision loss which could rule him out of the Olympics.

The 28-year-old was struck in the face by the ball during GB's play-off win over Malaysia on 3 November, sustaining a crushed retina and facial fractures, but he's still hopeful of featuring next summer.

"I'm an athlete, I work hard, and I never give up," Ward told 麻豆社 Radio Berkshire's Jack Winstanley. "I could get plenty of improvement, I could get none, it's just a waiting game.

"It's OK not to be OK, because it is a shock.

"You've just got to think of the positives and put things into perspective.

"I've got a full working body, everything's really working, I've just lost a bit of vision in my left eye.

"Why not aspire and keep dreaming and keep working hard on what you do day in, day out?"
