Nadal returns to training after Olympics injury scare

PARIS: Rafael Nadal returned to training at Roland Garros on Friday after an injury scare had put his participation at the Paris Olympics in doubt.

The 14-time French Open champion practised with Carlos Alcaraz, with whom he is scheduled to compete alongside for Spain in the men´s doubles first round on Saturday. The 38-year-old wore a bandage on his right leg after suffering a thigh injury on Wednesday and skipping training the following day. His coach Carlos Moya had said Nadal was fighting to be fit in time. “Don´t force it at the moment and give him time to see if he recovers well,” Moya had told Spanish radio on Thursday.
