After back injury rehab, Chopra set to train in Bienne

Chopra has yet to begin his season. He was undergoing rehabilitation for a back injury in Turkey, along with his coach Jai Choudhary and long-time physio Ishaan Marwaha. They will now move to Switzerland for training as the Mission Olympic Cell (MOC) approved his proposal for a 47-day camp on Wednesday.
The proposal covers travel, accommodation and all other costs for the three-member team, in addition to an out-of-pocket allowance of USD 25 per day for 47 days, SAI said in a statement.
Chopra has not competed so far this year and is focused on achieving full fitness before returning to competition. While Sachin Yadav, who narrowly missed a medal at the world championships after finishing fourth (86.27m), has entered in the Rome Diamond League to take place on June 4, Chopra has stayed away.
The MOC, chaired by sports secretary MYAS Hari Ranjan Rao, also approved foreign training for double Olympic medallist pistol shooter Manu Bhaker in Lucca, Italy, from May 13 to 22. The 24-year-old will be accompanied by her coach Jaspal Rana and physiotherapist Snehil Khurana.
The MOC also gave a go ahead to long-distance runner Gulveer Singh's proposal for foreign training and overseas exposure along with his coach in the United States from May 15 to June 17.
Asian Games bronze medallist Gulveer will compete in races at Los Angeles and Nashville, respectively....
