Ingebrigtsen set to miss Diamond League meetings in Poland, Belgium
The 24-year-old Norwegian had been scheduled to run the 1500 metres in Brussels on August 22 and was also listed for the Silesia meeting in Poland on August 16, having been announced for the event as early as December last year.
Ingebrigtsen has struggled with an Achilles injury over the last few months and had to drop out of the Ostrava Golden Spike and Oslo Bislett Games in June.
"He is still working on getting rid of the injury he has sustained to an Achilles. Unfortunately. He would very much have liked to be able to participate," Ingebrigtsen's spokesperson Espen Skoland told Norwegian TV2.
Ingebrigtsen has not competed since claiming double gold in the 1500m and 3,000m at the World Indoor Championships in March. He has spent recent weeks training in St. Moritz, where his camp say he is making steady progress.
No revised timeline has been given for a return to competition, but Ingebrigtsen has said his goal is to compete at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo in September.

Isaac Price on target as Ryan Mason enjoys winning start at West Brom
Isaac Price's 15th-minute goal gave Albion a deserved victory in Mason's first game in charge, with Aune Heggebo and Price again going close, while Blackburn's only serious threat came from Yuki Ohashi's saved shot. The hosts ended the match with 10 men after Darnell Furlong was sent off at the death. Former Tottenham assistant coach Mason, 34, who replaced Tony Mowbray in June, gave debuts to centre-back Nat Phillips and striker Heggebo, who the Baggies signed from Liverpool and Brann respectively this summer. Blackburn head coach Valerien Ismael – who returned to his former club for the first time since he left in February 2022 – handed first Rovers competitive outings to Ryan Alebiosu, Dion De Neve and Axel Henriksson. Albion made the better start and the hard-running Price was at the heart of it. The attacking midfielder's 25-yard curling free-kick was scooped over the crossbar by goalkeeper Balazs Toth, who then punched away Furlong's long throw-in. Ex-Everton youngster Price swept home a loose ball from seven yards after Rovers failed to deal with Mowatt's inswinging corner. Heggebo wrestled Alebiosu off the ball to carve out the chance. West Brom should have made it 2-0 soon afterwards following the best move of the match so far. Heggebo started and finished it as his shot was blocked by Toth after he burst goalwards and fed Tom Fellows before seizing on the return. The Norwegian reached the ball first, but perhaps should have left it to Price, as they collided. Blackburn's only real threat came in the 32nd minute when Ohashi spun Bologna target Torbjorn Heggem and his tight-angled shot was fumbled away by Josh Griffiths. Ohashi appealed for a penalty after a tussle with Heggem ended with the Rovers striker dramatically dropping to the ground. But referee David Webb swiftly waved play on. Rovers replaced De Neve with Augustus Kargbo at half-time as they sought a way back into the game. But it was Albion who continued to look more dangerous. Price threatened when he raced clear after Blackburn surrendered possession in midfield. His low left-footed shot was heading for the bottom corner but Toth shovelled it behind. Albion left-back Callum Styles crashed a left-footed half-volley just over the angle after the ball sat up invitingly for the shot. Rovers substitute Lewis Miller twice headed wide from set-pieces as the visitors pushed for an elusive equaliser. Albion ended the game with 10 men after Furlong was sent off for a second bookable offence after a clash of heads with Ohashi – but the hosts survived a late aerial onslaught.

Arne Slot reveals the one big reason why Liverpool HAD to splash out £295MILLION on new signings this summer
Arne Slot has insisted Liverpool 's summer spending spree has been a necessity to stop the club being left behind. Liverpool's £295million investment in this window has been a huge topic of debate, with the additions of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, among others, ensuring the dynamic of how Slot's team attack next season will be radically different. There could be more to come before the window closes, with Slot short of a central defender and still on the trail of Newcastle's Aleksander Isak, whose patience at his situation on Tyneside has reached breaking point. It remains to be seen whether a deal can be done before the window closes. Whatever happens, Slot is adamant the business Liverpool have completed was absolutely necessary. They only bought Federico Chiesa 12 months ago and another window holding back would, according to their head coach, have had detrimental impacts. In an entertaining interview with the Men In Blazers Podcast, Slot told host Roger Bennett that he had become concerned about the possibility of rivals working out how to play against his team. He said: 'We think by adding the creativity of Florian, by adding the pace of Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo and Milos Kerkez we have quite a few guys that can give us weapons in games (that are tight). 'If you don't evolve, if you keep doing the same thing, people do find the answers to your playing style. And that already happened the bits in the second part of last season - although, number wise, we got just as many points in the second half of the season in the first half of the season. 'But I did see us struggling a bit more. I think we scored more from set pieces in the second part of the season, to make this one goal. West Ham United at home. Nottingham Forest away. Leicester City away, where we won with one-nil. 'So we, we had to rely a bit more on our set pieces as well which is a very important part of football. 'But in an ideal world, we are able to create even more chances against the low block than we did last season without losing our defensive structure.' It will be fascinating to see how Slot uses all his options, not least youngsters Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha, who have both been made part of the first team squad and who will certainly be asked to contribute - their efforts through pre-season have caught the eye consistently. Ngumoha, who became Liverpool's youngest player when he appeared in the FA Cup defeat of Accrington Stanley in January, has created a buzz and his goal in last Monday's friendly against Athletic Club was a thing of beauty, with nine perfect touches on his right foot before sweeping in a shot. Slot is not a man who will get caught up in hype and knows how to keep young players grounded but, equally, he recognises Ngumoha - who left Chelsea 12 months ago because he felt Liverpool would offer a better pathway - can do things differently. 'Rio has had a good pre-season,' Slot explained to Men In Blazers. 'It took him a while to adapt, which is quite normal if you are 16 years old. He used to be with us last season once in a while and now, in pre-season, he's done really well. 'He brings in the quality. He is not afraid to take a one for one on making the right decisions. If he feels his teammate is in a better position than him, he will play the ball. 'But I know how hard it is for 20 year olds, 25 year olds, 30 year olds to play every three days at this level. And this is something we need to give him - time. 'At this moment, of course, he's not a regular starter, but for him to train every single day at this level is going to be really hard and tough. So let's give him some time, to adapt to everything - but he definitely made a promising start to this pre-season.'

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace live: Latest team news and updates from Community Shield as new signings bid to impress
The first silverware of the season is on the line as Liverpool battle Crystal Palace in the annual Community Shield curtain-raiser. The meaning of the encounter between Premier League champions and FA Cup winners can be debated but both sides will relish an opportunity to knock off some rust before the new campaign begins in earnest next weekend. Despite their romp to the title last year, it's been a busy summer for Liverpool with a number of new signings looking to impress Arne Slot - though it will also be a day tinged with sadness as tributes continue to be paid to Diogo Jota in the first competitive fixture since his death. For Oliver Glasner 's unlikely cup winners, meanwhile, events in a Swiss court are perhaps the more consequential proceedings of the weekends with their European future in the balance as the Court of Arbitration for Sport considers an appeal from the London club over their demotion out of the Europa League. Glasner will be keen for his squad, which includes a couple of players linked with moves away, to focus on matters on the pitch as they look for another Wembley win.
