PV Sindhu has traveled to London, United Kingdom to work on her recovery and nutrition. News reports suggest that the former world no. 2 left the national camp for next year’s Toyko Olympics and has been in London for at least 10 days.

Quashing a news report which suggested that her exit from the national camp may have been due to tensions with her family, Sindhu said on Twitter: "I have come here (London) with the consent of my parents and absolutely they were no family rifts in this regard."

"Why will I have problems/issues with my parents who have sacrificed their lives for my sake. Mine is a very close knitted family and they will always support me. I am in touch with my family members everyday," Sindhu added in a tweet.

Sindhu also said that she does not have any issues with her coach Pullela Gopichand or the training facility at the academy.
