PETALING JAYA: Men's singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong faces the prospect of missing out on the Thomas Cup Finals from April 27-May 5 in Chengdu.

Tze Yong is still struggling to regain full fitness after undergoing surgery at the end of February to deal with a spinal disc injury.

The 23-year-old was selected along with Lee Zii Jia, Leong Jun Hao, Cheam June Wei and Justin Hoh in the singles but could be dropped if he does not recover in time.
