France’s Alexis Pinturault sustained a slight muscular injury in his thigh in the World Cup parallel slalom at Alta Badia, the French ski federation announced Tuesday.
Pinturault, the federation said, suffered a “6mm muscle injury to the long adductor muscle of his left thigh”.
“Everything has been put in place so he can take part in Bormio,” it added.
