Matthew Hudson-Smith and Zharnel Hughes both pull out of the British squad for the European Athletics Championships.
European 400m record holder Matthew Hudson-Smith and sprinters Zharnel Hughes, Imani-Lara Lansiquot and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake have all withdrawn from the British team for the European Athletics Championships in Rome.
Hudson-Smith improved his own mark in his season opener in Oslo last week but the 29-year-old has opted to skip the Europeans and instead focus on training ahead of the Olympics in Paris. World bronze medallist Hughes was seen limping after his 100m race in Jamaica on Saturday, although no details of any injury have been confirmed by British Athletics.
Lansiquot's absence and Daryll Neita's decision to focus on the 200m and the 4x100m relay means Amy Hunt will now contest the women's 100m as well as the relay while Aleeya Sibbons will join the relay squad.
