AFP, Kuala Lumpur :
World number one Lee Chong Wei was left fuming after an injury at Malaysia’s new training centre cost him what may have been his last shot at the All England Championship, reports said Tuesday.
The 34-year-old, who was gunning for his fourth title at the prestigious tournament next month, will be out for weeks after he slipped and fell at the new Academy Badminton Malaysia on Saturday.
Lee, who has signalled he may retire this year, tore a medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the incident, the Star newspaper said Tuesday.
“This injury could have been avoided,” Lee was reported as saying.
Lee, a silver medallist in the last three Olympics, said he had complained about the new centre’s slippery court mats but “nothing was done”.
