Yuvraj may miss World Cup

Former Indian team physio Andrew Leipus feels that Yuvraj Singh's chances of getting fit for the world cup are 'touch and go'. The dashing ieft-hander batsman has been included in the ODI squad for the tour of South Africa subject to fitness.

Yuvraj has suffered a tear in the interior cruciate ligament, with some amount of bruising of the bone in the left knee along with swelling, during training on the eve of India's crucial league encounter against Australia in the Champion's Trophy.

"I hav'nt seen him, but a reptured ligament in the knee has to be re-constructed and it normally take 5-6 months for such an injury to heal completely" Leipus told on Tuesday.

BCCI's chief administrative officer, Ratnakar Shetty said on tuesday that Yuvraj's fitness would be assessed as scheduled on Novemebr 10.
