Dina Asher-Smith has announced she has been forced to withdraw from the Commonwealth Games due to a hamstring injury.
The Team England sprinter, who pulled up during the women’s 4×100 metres relay at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, last week, announced her decision on Instagram on Wednesday. She wrote: “Thankfully I’ve only got a light hamstring strain after pulling up in the 4×1 a few days ago.
"No major issue and nothing to worry about. But due to the short turnaround between the end of the Worlds and the start of the Commonwealth Games in a few days’ time I’m going to have to withdraw."
