Russian gymnastics coach Valentina Rodionenko has said that 2012 Olympic champion, Aliya Mustafina, will not compete at the World Cup in Glasgow due to a back injury.

"Aliya withdrew from the competition in Glasgow due to serious back problems. Now we will send her back to Germany, and the injury will be treated. When doctors advised her to pay attention to her health, she replied that it would be better to put up with it and to compete through the pain. She has an inflammation of the lumbar spine. Today we were deciding what to do with Aliya - to treat her in Russia or Germany. We came to the conclusion that the second option is optimal.

I think Aliya will go to Munich tomorrow. We have an agreement with local experts. She may need to stay in hospital, but we are not expecting her to need surgery.   She will be treated conservatively. I think everything will be fine. I'm sure she will be ready in time for Europeans."
