(Reuters) -Rafa Nadal said on Saturday that he was recovering at home after receiving treatment in Barcelona for the foot problem that forced him to cut short his 2021 campaign. Nadal announced last month ahead of the U.S. Open that the recurring foot injury would not allow him to compete for the rest of year. In an Instagram post https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrNwYzl-wc the 35-year-old Spaniard, ranked fifth in the world, said he had completed his treatment. “I can tell you I was in Barcelona with my team and medical team to have a treatment to my foot which will need a few days of rest and some weeks out of action,” he said. “I’m already home and starting the recovery.”Nadal, who was diagnosed with the foot problem in 2005, said he was trying a different type of treatment this time to try to fix the issue so he can continue his career for a few more years.
