Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu has been advised a few weeks rest after a scan found a niggle in her left knee. Last week, the 28-year-old from Hyderabad was forced to concede her second round match against Thailand's Supanida Katethong due to a knee injury at the French Open Super 750 event in Rennes. "After returning from France and undergoing a knee scan, we've found a niggle in my left knee. (More Badminton News)
In hindsight, conceding the match was the best call," Sindhu said in a social media post on Tuesday. "Doctors have been advised a few weeks rest before I begin training again. The break is also an opportunity to focus on the upcoming Olympics. I shall be back on the court very soon." Sindhu, who has been struggling with form this season, had returned to the top 10 last Tuesday after a gap of six months by climbing two spots following back-to-back semifinal finishes at Arctic Open and Denmark Open.
Determined to come back firing on all cylinders ❤️
