MADRID, Spain—USA Rugby has released a statement on the injury Men's 7s star Perry Baker received on Sunday.

Baker was stretchered off during the USA's loss against Kenya after a tackle. He appeared to injure his leg, and indeed USA Rugby has confirmed that he has injured his lower leg. There has been speculation that he has broken a bone in his leg or dislocated his ankle, but that's essentially speculation at this point. (The Spanish Rugby Union said he had a fractured tibia.)

The statement said that "out of respect for athlete privacy, USA Rugby does not provide details regarding the exact scope and nature of player injuries."

All-Time American List: Perry Baker

Baker has to go through a COVID testing procedure before being flown back to the United States for a fuller assessment of his injury and whether he needs surgery.

Baker issued a statement, which he reiterated on social media Sunday night with a little help from Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“Thank you for all the support. Much appreciated from myself and my family,” said Baker.
