Kingston, Jamaica - World 100m record holder Asafa Powell could make his anticipated return to the track at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, on 10 June 2007, his manager Paul Doyle said on Saturday (5).
The 'Pre' is an Grand Prix status meeting as part of the IAAF World Athletics Tour 2007.
In the past three weeks, Powell has pulled out of the Mt. Sac and Penn Relays, along with the Jamaica International Invitational last Saturday, but according to Doyle, he could also run before 10 June.
"He does have commitments to run in Eugene as well....And there are one or few that we are considering before then," Doyle added.
He added: "It very well could be (June 10), but we considering other options before that as well"
Powell, who holds the World 100m record of 9.77 seconds, has been suffering from tendonitis for the last four weeks, which forced to limited work at training.
However, Doyle said things are back to normal.
"This week he managed to do a full speed start and things felt really good, so he is definitely (feeling better) ... the body has healed and he is ready to run, the only thing is that he missed three weeks of training and we are not sure when we are going to get him started," added Doyle.
