Following an injury sustained at\u00a0the\u00a0World Triathlon Championship Series Leeds, Jonny Brownlee<\/a> has withdrawn from representing Team England at this summer\u2019s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brownlee was involved in a crash at the event in Leeds<\/strong><\/a>, with the racing in Birmingham coming too soon in his recovery process to allow him to compete.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his withdrawal, Brownlee said: \u201cI\u2019m desperately disappointed. I was very positive after my original diagnosis about being fit for Birmingham.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy elbow was getting better by the day, but my wrist wasn\u2019t. The scan revealed I have a fractured scaphoid and for the benefit of my long-term health, it needs to go in a cast.\u201d<\/p>\n
