Bajrang says he is fine, injury to be assessed in the next 48 hours

New Delhi

Bajrang injured his right knee on Friday while competing in the semi-finals of the Ali Aliyev tournament in Russia. “I am fine. It [getting injured] happens in sport,” Bajrang told PTI from Kaspiysk when asked if it was a serious injury. While Bajrang did not elaborate on his injury, sources close to the wrestler said it is a good sign that he could walk without help. Asked if it could be a ligament tear, the source said that only scans could confirm it. Bajrang, one of India’s medal prospects at the Tokyo Olympics, has been training in Russia since May. The 27-year-old skipped the Poland Open so that he could spar with the world’s top wrestlers in Russia.
