PETALING JAYA: Injured men's singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong is inching closer to a return to full court training. Tze Yong underwent surgery last July in Doha to repair an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear on his right knee. Singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen is optimistic that the 25-year-old could return to full training soon provided he passes a few tests. "Tze Yong has been doing skills training for the past two to three months but has not returned to full training yet," said Jonassen. The injury was a huge blow to Tze Yong, who only returned to competitions in April after a one-year layoff following two back surgeries.
