Pakistan’s star javelin thrower, Arshad Nadeem, has been ruled out of the upcoming Diamond League due to his fitness issues.
According to details, Arshad’s medical team has advised him against participating in the elite event as he continues his recovery from a serious leg injury.
The Olympic medalist is currently undergoing an intensive rehabilitation program in England, where he has gradually started to put weight on his injured leg after surgery, an encouraging step forward in his recovery journey.
However, according to Dr. Ali Sher Bajwa, who performed Arshad’s surgery in Cambridge last month, Arshad has not yet completed his rehabilitation, and the nature of his injury is serious, which means recovery will take time.
Dr. Bajwa revealed that the injury involved partial muscle damage and required immediate medical intervention.
“Arshad’s latest injury is entirely new and extremely serious,” Dr. Bajwa confirmed.
Post-surgery, Arshad Nadeem has been based in the UK, where his rehab continues under the supervision of British specialists. While the early signs of progress are encouraging, the timeline for his full recovery remains uncertain.
Importantly, Arshad Nadeem’s participation in the upcoming World Athletics Championship will also depend entirely on the outcome of his rehabilitation programme.
A final decision regarding his involvement in the prestigious event will only be taken once his rehab is successfully completed.
