Injured 2005 world 110m hurdles Champion Ladji Doucoure plans to return to competition in June, according to his coach Renaud Longuevre.

The Frenchman picked up the injury in January in the US, but he will soon start gradual training in a bid to regain fitness for the summer Olympics in China.

"There is no delay, there is enough time to be ready for Olympic Games," Longuevre said.

Technical training for the hurdles begins in May.

Meanwhile, Linda Khodadin has recovered from injury and after a year-and-a-half out, the former world indoor bronze medal holder is ready to return to action.

Khodadin sustained a serious Achilles tendon injury, but now is completely recovered and plans to qualify for Olympic Games.
