Displaying a positive outlook in the face of such personal adversity, Lee Chong Wei added that perhaps he "needed this rest after all the years on the courts."
When asked when can his fans see him back on the court, Lee Chong Wei said that while there is a possibility in February next year, it all depends on his progress and what the doctors say
