Ace India shuttler to skip nationals due to shoulder injury

Injured Saina targets All England in March

A shoulder injury may have forced Saina Nehwal to skip the National Badminton championships but the ace shuttler is hoping to be back on court at the All England Super Series to be held from March 3 to 8. "I was feeling a slight pain since last May but I ignored it and kept on playing. And it was during last month's Korean Super Series that I aggravated my injury. "But I didn't think the injury was so bad and it was only yesterday morning when physio Heath Matthews examined me that he suggested that it would be better if I skip the nationals or else it might affect my chances of playing in tournaments later in the year. "I just want to get back in shape before the All England Super Series. I am really looking forward to playing in the tournament," Saina told PTI. Saina has been advised two weeks' rest by Heath and the 19-year-old is following it by heart. "I'm just running and doing other exercises but I am not doing anything at the moment that involves moving my right shoulder. I will be out of action for the next 2-3 weeks," said the world number 10.
