Badminton News: Indian star PV Sindhu has announced that he is withdrawing from the upcoming BWF World Championships due to a stress fracture in his left leg.

In a statement he shared on Twitter, the two-time Olympic medalist confirmed he will be missing the 2022 World Championships.

PV Sindhu won gold at the World Championships in 2019, along with two silver and two bronze medals.

“As I was about to win a gold medal in the CWG for India. Unfortunately, I had to drop out of the world championships. I felt sick and was afraid of getting injured in the quarter CWG final, but with the help of coach, physio and coach, I decided to push as far as possible,” Sindhu said in his statement.

“The pain was unbearable during and after the final so I rushed for an MRI as soon as I got back to Hyderabad. The doctor confirmed a stress fracture in my left leg and advised me to rest for a few weeks.”

“I have to start training again in a few weeks. Thank you all for your support and love,” he added.

The world championships will be held in Tokyo from August 22 to August 28 in Tokyo.

Sindhu won a gold medal in women’s singles at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games and revealed she was playing with pain in the quadrennial multi-sport championship.

Sindhu added CWG singles gold to multiple medals with a convincing win in a row over Canadian Michelle Li.

The Indian world number seven beat his opponent 21-15 and 21-13 in front of the home crowd at the NEC Arena in Birmingham.

This is Sindhu’s second Commonwealth Games gold medal, having won the yellow metal in 2018 in the Mixed Team Championship. She also has a silver and a bronze medal in the 2018 and 2014 editions of women’s singles.

PV Sindhu, 27, also has two Olympic medals. She won silver in women’s singles in 2016 and followed that up with a bronze medal in Tokyo last year in Japan.
