London 2012 Olympics: Malaysia's gifted world No 1 Lee Chong Wei handed injury blow at Thomas Cup It is a torn ankle tendon, not a rupture. He will be out for about three to four weeks," said Tey Seu Bock, Malaysia's singles coach. He will go back to Malaysia as soon as possible for another MRI scan. Head singles coach Rashid Sidek said they had considered flying Lee immediately back to Malaysia from the tournament in China for treatment, a sign of how seriously they were taking his condition. "We are jinxed at the Thomas Cup," said Bock, referring to the event in 2006 when Malaysia lost their team captain Wong Choong Hang in a similar incident in the quarter finals. The Thomas Cup was a key part of Lee's Olympic preparations, Sidek had said in a confident mood earlier this week. Mentally he is prepared for the Olympics. The Thomas Cup is the main part of preparation. If he does well here it will boost his confidence, especially if he plays Lin Dan and beats him," the coach said on Monday.
