Luciana Diniz is out of action after discovering her foot being broken.  

Diniz suffered a fall from her horse Lennox at the Longines Global Champions Tour in Vienna in the middle of September, and although the Portuguese rider continued to compete that same day the injury turned out to be more serious than originally thought. 

On her official Facebook page, Diniz writes: "So, here I am, with a broken foot. The doctor just confirmed today, what my horse's vet told me yesterday when he did an x-ray of my foot."

Meanwhile, Diniz keeps herself busy writing an Olympic diary while she hopes to recover in time to compete at the Longines Global Champions Tour Final in Doha. 

We wish Luciana a speedy recovery!
