Scan shows only minor damage to shoulder

World indoor triple jump champion Yamile Aldama has received an injury boost after a scan revealed only minor damage to her shoulder. Aldama landed awkwardly after completing a second-round jump of 14.65 metres at the Diamond League meeting in Rome. She subsequently passed her remaining four attempts. A scan in London on Friday revealed the 39-year-old had stretched a tendon in her shoulder which will take seven to 10 days to heal but will not cause undue disruption to her Olympic preparations.
