VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis injured his right forearm after a fall in his residence but did not suffer any fractures, the Vatican said on Thursday.
“This morning, due to a fall at the Santa Marta house, Pope Francis suffered a contusion on his right forearm, without fractures. The arm was immobilised as a precautionary measure,” a statement said.
The pontiff turned 88 in December.
