But he is yet to take a call on his participation in the prestigious competition.

“Neeraj will participate in (Lausanne) if he is declared medically fit,” Sumariwalla told PTI on Saturday.

Chopra had missed the Birmingham CWG due to a “minor” groin strain he suffered while winning a historic silver in the World Championships in Eugene, USA last month. He was advised one-month rest.

“Neeraj is working on his rehabilitation and his team will take a call about the Lausanne Diamond League closer to the event,” a source had said a few days back. Birmingham CWG silver medallist Avinash Sable also figured in the men’s 3000m steeplechase event.
