Indian star shuttler Saina Nehwal has revealed that she suffers from arthritis. She will have to make a decision about her future before the end of the year. Nehwal, who won a bronze medal for India at the 2012 London Olympics, last appeared at the Singapore Open over a year ago. Then she was eliminated during the first round.

Nehwal has indicated that she is in the last phase of her career. "The knee is not very good. I have arthritis. My cartilage has deteriorated. It is very difficult to push for eight-nine hours," Nehwal told shooter Gagan Narang in the podcast 'House of Glory'.

"How will you challenge the best players in the world in such a situation? I think I have to accept it somewhere. Because two hours of training is not enough to play with the highest level players and get good results," she said.
