The 26-year-old athlete has to issue an update on his health after the organisers said in the official statement that Neeraj has sustained an injury during the training which will restrict his participation in the event that is scheduled to commence on May 28.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHello everyone! Following a recent throwing session, I decided not to compete in Ostrava as I felt something in my adductor. I have had problems with it in the past and pushing it at this stage can lead to injury,\u201d Neeraj clarified via Instagram story.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cJust to clarify I am not injured but I don\u2019t want to take any risk during the Olympic year so had to take this decision. Once I feel it\u2019s fully recovered, I will get back to competitions. Thank you for your support,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, the organisers said Neeraj picked up an injury in adductor muscle while training two weeks ago. He will only attend the athlete meet as a guest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
