ATP - INJURED ROGER FEDERER WILL MISS MADRID AND BASEL
Roger injured a ligament in his right foot during training
and will miss at least two weeks of tournaments.
He was hurt in training while he tried to hit
a forehand drive shot.
Now he is walking with crutches.
The mishap will keep Roger out of action for up to three weeks.
Roger is likely to miss next week's Madrid Masters.
He will also miss his home event, the Swiss Indoors in Basel.
"After bad luck last year with my thigh and now this. I'm extremely disappointed, above all that I can't play at home for the second straight year in Basel. But I'm hoping to go to Shanghai again perfectly fit," said Roger.
Medical opinion is optimistic that Roger will be fit for the season-ending Masters Cup in Shanghai from November 13-20.
