An eye injured suffered in Sunday's season finale will keep Connecticut Sun guard Lindsay Whalen from taking part in the U.S. Senior National Team's training camp which will be held from Sept. 30-Oct. 5 at American University in Washington, D.C.

According to a release sent out by the Sun, doctors have advised Whalen to refrain from participating in basketball or any other type of jarring physical activity for at least one month while the injury heals.

"I was really looking forward to this first training camp and I'm disappointed I won't be able to attend," Whalen said in a statement. "I've played through a number of injuries during my career. That's part of being an athlete. But when it comes to your vision, you have to be careful."

The training camp will be the first with UConn's Geno Auriemma as the head coach of the national team. He will be assisted by DePaul's Doug Bruno and Jen Gillom of the Minnesota Lynx.
