Chopra eyes return to training as ligament injury recovery progresses

India's decorated javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra has signalled steady progress in his recovery from a ligament injury, expressing optimism about a near-term return to active training and rehabilitation work.

Chopra, who has claimed two Olympic medals for India in the javelin, disclosed that his rehabilitation programme is progressing as planned. The athlete indicated he expects to ramp up his training intensity within the next fortnight, marking a significant milestone in his comeback from the setback.

The injury layoff represents a challenge for the accomplished javelin competitor as he aims to maintain his form and readiness for upcoming competitions. Recovery timelines for ligament injuries typically require careful management to prevent re-injury and ensure full rehabilitation.
