Rafael Nadal on Saturday said he was recovering at home after receiving treatment in Barcelona for the foot problem that forced him to cut short his 2021 campaign.

The 20-time grand slam winner suffered from back issues at the start of the season before pulling out of Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics. Last month, ahead of the US Open, the Spaniard announced that the recurring foot injury would not allow him to compete for the rest of year.

In an Instagram post on Saturday, the 35-year-old — ranked fifth in the world — said he had completed his treatment. “... My foot will need a few days of rest and some weeks out of action,” Nadal said.

A source close to Nadal’s team said he did not undergo surgery.
