6 men’s doubles player Man Wei Chong’s preparation for the world’s oldest badminton tournament, the All-England from March 3-8, has been disrupted by a right knee injury. It is a gamble as Wei Chong revealed that the medical team had actually advised him to take a longer break, including skipping the All-England. Last year, Wei Chong-Kai Wun suffered a first round exit at the hands of China’s He Jiting-Ren Xiangyu. "This injury is on my right knee, and I had previously injured the same leg. The draw for this year’s All England will only be known on Tuesday (Feb 24), with Malaysia fielding eight men’s doubles pairs, including Wei Chong-Kai Wun.
