World champion and IAAF Female Athlete of the Year Sally Pearson has this morning undergone a scan in Melbourne following a race at the Gippsland Gift in Victoria on the weekend.
The scan revealed that Pearson has a minor quadricep strain, with no visible tears.
Pearson had always planned a slower training week across the New Year period and as such this has been brought forward to see her return to training in approximately two weeks time.
