The former second-ranked and present seventh-ranked women’s singles shuttler, the 27-year-old PV Sindhu was one of the favourites to win a gold medal in the upcoming BWF World Championships 2022. But her left ankle injury has deeply hurt India’s dream in the upcoming World Championships contest. Sindhu has confirmed this hurt-breaking news through her social media accounts.

The two-time Olympic medalist (silver in 2016 and bronze in 2020) Sindhu recently won two medals in the CWG 2022 (one gold medal in women’s singles and one silver medal in mixed team). Despite an injury scare, she finished that competition on a high note. However, she is now suffering from a stress fracture on her left foot as she needs a few weeks’ rests.    

Sindhu is confident to return to training in a few weeks after taking this rest.
