The world bronze medallist noted that he expects to race in the Diamond League Meetings and showing up in races in Europe more but his coach shall make the important decisions.
He also mentioned that it’s not his fault to skip Diamond League events since he has been battling injuries, that have forced him to withdraw from many major events.
The 23-year-old also expressed joy to having competed against Lyles, explaining that the last time they clashed was at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary where Lyles won the 100m and he finished an impressive fourth.
“Well, of course, but my coach and I shall decide where I’ll run. It’s not my fault, it’s just because whenever it’s time for me to compete in the circuit, I always have issues like injury problems and stuff, which I don’t really get to compete in the circuit.
