Hockey World Cup - Hardik Singh almost ruled out of Wales clash with injury

India's all-rounder Hardik Singh has suffered an injury in their team's match against Wales in the last match.

India's all-rounder Hardik Singh has suffered an injury in their team's match against Wales in the last match. One of his team's favorites, the 24-year-old scored a goal in India's 2-0 win over Spain and created several chances against India. England drew 0-0 on Sunday.

Hardik was injured in their match against England in Rourkela. The home team play Wales here on Thursday. However, official confirmation is awaited for its announcement. A source close to the team says no decision has been made on his successor and the team will not be asking for one in the future.

An MRI and other tests were carried out on the injured player, and it was found that the team management was against playing him against Wales and opened the possibility of making the injury worse. The team is trying to determine the extent of the injuries before making the final call.

Hardik was out of the ground with less than three minutes left in Sunday's match. In the post-match press conference, head coach Graham Reid said it was not as bad as first suspected.
