Pakistan's star javelin thrower has returned home after undergoing successful leg surgery followed by a rehabilitation period in the United Kingdom, 24NewsHD TV reported on Tuesday.
He had been experiencing pain in his calf muscle, which had affected his training intensity.
The 28-year-old star underwent the procedure in Cambridge under the care of renowned UK-based specialist Dr Ali Bajwa, with the medical team confirming that partial muscle damage in Nadeem’s calf had been surgically repaired.
Nadeem, who made history by becoming Pakistan’s first-ever Olympic gold medalist in athletics, is now set to resume training in Lahore in the coming days under medical supervision. He has completed post-surgery rehab in London to regain strength and will begin light training in Lahore as per the doctors’ advice.
Arshad Nadeem’s return has sparked excitement among fans, as he remains Pakistan’s biggest hope for another global medal in athletics.
