Olympic and world championship silver medallist P V Sindhu today suffered an injury scare but there is no immediate threat to her participation in the Commonwealth Games starting next month.

"She had hurt her ankle while training at the academy today. So we did an MRI to be 100 per cent 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 team event. So nothing to worry."
