A wrist injury in the Bhubaneswar leg of the FIH Pro League. And last month, during the European swing of the league, a damaged finger tissue. Or, in the words of coach Craig Fulton, ‘smashed with the ball on the finger that split his whole finger open and couldn’t hold a stick.’ “He’s had a hard time,” Fulton adds. And so has India, without their MVP Harmanpreet Singh.
