“I’ll be there if my body allows it. Wimbledon is a priority, the Grand Slams are a priority. Playing with anti-inflammatories yes, with injections of anesthesia no”he stated when asked if he will play in the English tournament.
The number four of the world is already at home in Mallorca where he will spend three or four days with normal maintenance physical activity. “It will be later when, depending on the evolution of the treatment and as long as it is positive, I would resume training on the pitch,” said the tennis player’s press.
It is not excluded that Nadal will have to carry out a second treatment depending on the evolution in the next week.
