Swapna to undergo series of tests: Coach

By The Assam Tribune

KOLKATA, Sept 7: Asian Games gold medallist heptathlete Swapna Barman will undergo a series of medical tests and may opt for surgery if required on her problematic lower back, her coach Subhas Sarkar said on Friday.

Barman, who became the first Indian heptathlete to win a gold in the Asian Games, had said she was carrying injuries while competing in Jakarta.

She has been having problems at her lumbar (lower back) region since the 2017 Asian Championships in Bhubaneswar where she had won a gold and was also carrying minor knee injuries.

�Last time, I did not take the risk of surgery because of the Asian Games but now we will see what is her condition. She may have to go for a surgery we will see what the doctors advice after MRI and CT scans,� Sarkar told PTI on the sidelines of a SAI felicitation here.

Sarkar said Barman�s medical treatment was the priority now. � PTI
