White revealed on Wednesday night that her Olympic hopes were over after another knee injury added to a cruel injury toll that had already forced her to miss the London Games four years ago.

White injured her knee in the Hockeyroos' series against New Zealand in Darwin.

The Commonwealth Games gold medallist missed almost two years after knee injuries robbed her of her chance of Olympic glory in London and the same nightmare has struck again.

But in a sign of grit, character and determination, White said she would fight to recover even if it meant just one more game for Australia.

"Unfortunately it was confirmed yesterday that I have re-torn my left ACL during our final against New Zealand in Darwin over the weekend," White posted on social media.

"Another character building moment awaiting me - I will smile at all those precious moments of gold medals, grand finals, 1v1 sudden death moments, the goals scored, the debut moments and the friendships made and be grateful I also have learnt from and rose above all the hard times with 3 ACL reconstructions now, grand final losses, non selection and doubt and fear I'll never be good enough again and reflect on these moments to spur me on for the next 12 months to have just one more moment in the green and gold body suit.

"I would never change for a second what I do for a living I love my sport and being apart of such an amazing and inspiring team. Thanks to all those who have sent flowers, cards, love and support. This road will be much easier because of you all!"

The Hockeyroos will name their final Olympic team in July with Canberra's Anna Flanagan's future up in the air after a drink-driving charge.

White's Crookwell teammate Emily Smith is still in contention, as well as Canberra Striker Edwina Bone.

White used her second knee reconstruction rehabilitation to get engaged, study and complete her personal training diploma as welcome distractions during a draining second nine months out of action.
