If a risk comes true

I have to travel for a meeting, but I heard that there is a risk of a pilots strike.

I want to write a paragraph saying that I will not travel if the risk of the strike comes true.

Is it correct saying as follows?
“If the risk of strike materializes, I will not be able to join the meeting”

I think it is the strike itself that may materialise, not the risk of strike. Also, "attend" is a better choice of verb. "
