Alexi Yagudin - Hip Stress Fracture- Info Wanted

[AxelAnnie22]

OK - I am confused. Iskater has a blurp on their home page - off to the right under a NEWS banner and it simply says: "Alexi Yagudin Injured. Hip Stress Fracture"

I don't see any kind of article, link to more information, or even discussion threads? Did I just miss this news completely?
It is kind of important - I don't think I would have just glossed over it. :?

I sure hope he is OK. If true, what is the recovery time/prognosis? And, how does this affect TT's time and availability for Sasha? :?:

And who said the off season was boring?8O

It came out with his decision to do europeans and worlds. The article said he heals it out conservatively. No surgery and he will be ok in time.

Thanks. Must have glossed right over that! Does anyone know how bad it is?

The news about Alexei's hip stress fracture was posted on the Blades on Ice online website on August 1st. They said he'd be out of commission for six weeks. It's the type of injury where rest is the recommended treatment.
