Bangalore: Back to training after going through a rigorous rehabilitation process, ace shuttler Saina Nehwal yesterday said she is working hard to make a return at the China Super Series Premier but will take a call only after consulting her physio Heath Matthews.
"My name is there. My physio (Matthews) feels I can do it, and I'll accordingly decide on playing in the China Super Series Premier. I have two-and-half weeks more to see how well I move in the court and how better I recover," Saina said.
The former World No. 1 had to undergo surgery for her knee injury which had affected her progress at the Rio Olympics. The China Super Series Premier will be held from November 15-20 and Hong Kong Open Super Series from November 22-27.
Saina said it was not easy to recover from injury as she had to spend six to seven hours on rehab every day. "It was not easy task for me as I had to work six to seven hours only on rehab. It is a boring thing to do it again and again, but had to do to strengthen my knee," Saina added.
