Olympic 110-metre hurdles champion Dayron Robles has pulled out of this week's London Grand Prix.
Robles' coach Santiago Antunez says the Cuban is close to recovering from nagging leg injuries, but not yet fit to compete.
Antunez says he expects Robles to return to the track at the August 27 Memorial Van Damme meet in Brussels.
Robles has pulled out of several meets since winning a month ago at the Athletissima meet in Lausanne, Switzerland. He complained after the meet of leg pain, which has prompted Antunez to keep him from racing.
