Hurdler Dai Green is out of Saturday's London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace.

Commonwealth and European 400m hurdles champion Dai Greene has opted to withdraw from Saturday's London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old has been suffering with a virus for a number of weeks and has instead decided to focus on the World Championships that begin in South Korea on Saturday, August 27.

"For all those asking, I am no longer running at Palace on the weekend," the Welshman said on Twitter.

"[I] want to concentrate on training ahead of Daegu."

Greene won both the Commonwealth and European crowns in 2010.
