“Recently, I sustained a muscle strain during my training. Following a medical evaluation, me and my team have decided to avoid any risks which can aggravate the injury,” the world No. 1 wrote on Twitter.
“Unfortunately, it means that I have to withdraw from the FBK Games, in Hengelo. Wishing the organisers and the tournament all the success.”
“Injuries are part of the journey, but it’s never easy. I am on the road to recovery, and will aim to be back on the track in June,” Neeraj added.
Neeraj had a remarkable start to the season by winning the Doha Diamond League on May 5 with an impressive throw of 88.67m.
