New Delhi, May 16 : Olympic Games-bound teenage wrestler Sonam Malik is recovering fast from a knee injury she sustained during Asian Olympic qualifier in Almaty last month. She would, however, skip next month s World Ranking Series in Poland as she is yet to resume proper training, said her coach on Sunday. I believe she has recovered 80 per cent from the injury. But it will take another 15-20 days for her to resume proper training on the mat. We have a physio who is working on her rehabilitation. Though she isn t doing mat training, she is following a different schedule to strengthen her core and upper body muscles, coach Ajmer Singh told IANS.
