Arshad Nadeem declared unfit for Diamond League

National javelin thrower and Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem has been ruled out of the upcoming Diamond League due to fitness issues.

His physician, Dr Ali Sher Bajwa, who performed his surgery in Cambridge, England, has advised against participation as part of his recovery plan.

Currently undergoing rehabilitation in England, Nadeem has recently started putting weight on his injured leg. However, Dr Bajwa said that the injury is both new and serious, and therefore warrants a cautious approach.

Nadeem’s participation in the upcoming World Athletics Championships also remains uncertain and will depend on the outcome of his ongoing rehabilitation program.
