New York: United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has fractured his hand while he was playing football with UN diplomats over the weekend.
Ban's left arm is in a sling and he would have to wear the cast for the next six weeks, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters at his daily briefing in New York on Monday.
The 67-year-old UN Chief suffered a "minor fracture in his left hand from a tumble while playing in the UN diplomats' spring soccer tournament over the weekend," Mr Nesirky said, adding that Ban was "otherwise absolutely fine and in great spirits."
Ban, back recently from a trip to India and Myanmar, is known to find time to jog and take part in UN sports events.
