Yuvraj Singh ruled out of Champions Trophy- Hindustan Times
Dashing left-hander Yuvraj Singh on Wednesday injured his right hand during a fielding session, causing concern in the Indian camp ahead of their Champions Trophy opener against Pakistan on September 26.
Yuvraj was enthusiastically taking part in the fielding session at the University Ground here. But in the process, he ended up hurting his right finger so badly that he couldn't participate in the batting and bowling sessions, which were conducted later in the day.
Physio Nitin Patel attended to the left-hander before he proceeded for a medical examination.
Team manager Anurag Thakur said the medical examination would determine whether the middle-order batsman has suffered a fracture.
"The tests will show whether he has fractured his finger," he said.
India are already an injury-hit side going into the tournament, missing the services of star opener Virender Sehwag, who is nursing a shoulder problem.
Sehwag's fellow opener Gautam Gambhir was also nursing a groin strain ahead of the tournament. Gambhir did not play in the team's only practice match against New Zealand.
Pacer Zaheer Khan is also missing from action due to an injury.
Oh no....!!!!
That's a disaster. First Zaheer, then Viru, now Yuvi. Even Gambhir is unsure till now. Phew... that's like half the side and all match winners. very disappointed
