Nadal sidelined for 6-8 weeks with hip flexor injury

MELBOURNE: World number two Rafael Nadal will be sidelined for six to eight weeks by the hip flexor injury he suffered during his second-round loss. The 36-year-old had an MRI scan on his left leg in Melbourne on Thursday, which revealed a grade 2 injury in the Illiopsoas, the primary hip flexor. "He will be resting the next days once back in Spain and will start with anti-inflammatory physiotherapy," his team said in a statement.
