Ankle injury: Sindhu to miss World C’ship
FORMER World and reigning Commonwealth Games champion PV Sindhu is likely to miss the upcoming Badminton World Championship after suffering a stress fracture injury on the left ankle.
The two-time Olympic medallist Sindhu suffered a left ankle injury during the quarterfinal of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham.
‘While I am on the high of winning a gold medal at the CWG for India. Unfortunately, I have to pull out of the World Championships. I felt the pain and there was an injury scare at the quarter finals. But with the help of my coach, physio and trainer I decided to push as much as I could. The pain was unbearable during and post the finals. Hence, I rushed for an MRI as soon as I got back to Hyderabad. The doctors confirmed a stress fracture on my left foot and recommended rest for a few weeks. I should be back to train in a few weeks. Thank you all for your support and love.’ PV Sindhu posted this statement on Twitter.
The World Championship 2022 will begin on August 21 in Tokyo.
