WASHINGTON, Nov 30 — Joe Biden has a sprained foot, his team said yesterday after the US president-elect was taken to the doctor because he had slipped while playing with his dog.
Biden, 78, suffered the injury Saturday with Major, one of his two German shepherds.
“President-elect Joe Biden sustained a sprain of his right foot,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a statement released by Biden’s office.
He added that there was no “obvious fracture” but that the former vice president, who won election against Donald Trump in November, would get a CT scan to check for damage.
Biden is to be sworn in on January 20, becoming the oldest president in US history.
