Stress facture rules Sindhu out of National Games 2022

PV Sindhu at the Commonwealth Games 2022 (Credits: Getty) Sindhu suffered a stress fracture to her left ankle at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. She went on to play the final under painkillers. Her pain management technique, in consultation with her physio and doctors at CWG 2022, was a conservative treatment that included icing and strapping the area. As per reports and sources in the know, Sindhu's MRI scan and review is scheduled for the first week of October. The treatment includes giving the ankle plenty of rest. Afterwards, Sindhu withdrew from the World Badminton Championships. She said missing out on competing at the National Games was unfortunate, but was excited for the badminton matches. “It is unfortunate that I will not be competing in the Games due to my injury. Had I been fit, I would have definitely represented Telangana. The National Games is a great opportunity for all the athletes and everyone I have spoken to is excited about it. I am sure the badminton matches will be very exciting." Sindhu's next major challenges are the 2022 Asian Games (which have been postponed and are slated to be held next year) and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
