She will undergo surgery next week.

Madayag has a history of knee injuries, having torn the ACL in her right knee in March 2016 while she was playing for Ateneo de Manila University. She went on to make a full recovery, and was an integral part of the Ateneo squad that won the UAAP title in Season 81.

Choco Mucho lost to Petro Gazz in four sets in Game 1 of their best-of-3 series for third place in the 2021 Premier Volleyball League (PVL) Open Conference.

They eventually lost Game 2 also with their starters sitting on the bench.
