Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) president Norza Zakaria said Lee Chong Wei may need a few more weeks to rest after completing his treatment.

Norza said during a meeting at Lee's house on Thursday, they only spoke about the treatment that he had to endure like chemotherapy and proton therapy as well as the performance of the badminton squad.

"I am super happy that he is recovering well. He lost around 5kg but is cheerful and in jovial mood. He needs to rest at least for another two or three weeks.

"We also spoke about our national badminton squad. He is happy with Lee Zii Jia's win [the Chinese Taipei Open]," he told Bernama.

Earlier, Norza posted on Instagram a picture of him with Lee, who was allowed by his doctor to return home on Sunday after completing almost two months of treatment in Chinese Taipei for an early stage of nose cancer.

Asked when the national number one would be back on court, Norza said: "We have not discussed the matter... because what is most important is his health.

"What is important is that we want to ensure that Chong Wei has sufficient rest and recovers."
