"Scans are not done immediately. We generally don't even test the structure before 48 hours. If there is a tear and we try to test it, we might do more harm. So, we will wait and observe for a while," added the source. Experienced Delhi-based sports physiotherapist Anand Dubey, who travels with the national tennis teams -- Davis Cup and Bille Jean King Cup -- explains why it was important to wait before scans are done.
"Wrestlers usually suffer sprains. If that's the case, then he will be fine in a day or two by applying ice packs regularly. In case of a ligament injury, swelling takes some to appear, may be 24 to 36 hours. In a major injury, it appears immediately. "I have seen the video of his bout. It looks like a minor injury, nothing to worry about. It was a good decision by Bajrang to forfeit the bout to prevent a major injury," he added. Bajrang, one of India's brightest medal prospects, has been training in Russia since last month. He skipped the Poland Open, the last Ranking Series event before the Olympics so that he could spar with world's top wrestlers, who are now training in Russia ahead of the Tokyo Games.
