Email to friend Email to Friend         Print article Print Article


DOUBLES shuttler Tan Boon Heong, who suffered an injury to his right foot on Wednesday in Kuala Lumpur, has been given the all clear to play in Malaysia's opening Thomas Cup Finals match against England tomorrow.

National doubles coach Rexy Mainaky said a scan on Boon Heong's foot showed he neither broke any bone nor tore a ligament.

"Doctors at the National Sports Council (NSC) who scanned his foot said that there was nothing to be worried about. I tested him on court today (yesterday) just to make sure and he looks fine," said Rexy.

"However, if he does complain of pain before the match I will rest him as we have a more important match against South Korea on Monday."

The 21-year-old Boon Heong complained of pain in his right foot after playing in the friendly match between the Thomas Cup team and a Malaysian Selection on Wednesday.
