India ace Saina Nehwal was admitted to a hospital in Hyderabad to undergo treatment for her knee injury which affected her progress in the badminton event of the Rio Olympics.
The 26-year-old had lost her second group match against Ukraine’s Maria Ulitina to crash out of the Rio Olympics.
“Saina has been hospitalised for the last two days and is undergoing treatment for her injury, which got worse during her match against Maria at Rio Olympics,” Saina’s father Harvir Singh told.
The World No 5 lost her second group league encounter 18-21, 19-21 to World No 61 Ulitina to crash out of the competition.
Saina had said the injury happened during training before the Olympics and it got worse during the match.
