Jacobs postpones his start of season

With just a few days to go before his long-awaited season opener in Rabat against the Americans Fred Kerley and Trayvon Bromell, Marcell Jacobs has been forced to postpone his return to action due to a lower back problem that he picked up in training.

« I am forced to skip my debut in the 100m and the first confrontation this year with Kerley in Rabat, which I was very keen on, due to a slight back blockage which I plan to resolve as soon as possible. It's not an injury, it's just the result of a false step, which is preventing me from competing in Morocco. Technically I feel fit and ready to have a good outdoor season. The challenge is only postponed. »
