Siyadutallah.

"She had hurt her ankle while training at the academy today. So we did an MRI to be 100 percent sure that everything is fine. No bone or ligament injury was found, so I am happy. we didn't want to take any risk," Sindhu's father P V Ramana told PTI.

"Now she will rest for a day and day after tomorrow she will start running again. She will go to the ground tomorrow and do some strengthening experience. There is enough time as CWG starts with the team event. So nothing to worry."
