Jacobs said<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a> he had a “slight lumbar-sacral block that I plan to resolve as soon as possible”.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: “Technically I feel fit and ready to have a great season outdoors. The challenge is only put on hold.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The next Diamond League event where the pair could meet is in Florence, Italy on 2 June.<\/span><\/p>\n
