Injured Nadal still unable to train with racquet

Rafael Nadal

Rafael Nadal has not yet been able to resume training with a racquet, said one of his team on Tuesday, adding that the World No.4 will "logically" miss the Barcelona tournament next week.

"He is still suffering from his ribs and as expected when his injury was announced, he needs four to six weeks. We are at three, so logically he will not be able to play again in Barcelona," a person close to Nadal said.

"He does the gym, but nothing that hurts him and therefore obviously not with the racquet."
