LATEST: Jess Ennis has to quit Sheffield event
World heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis is "devastated" after being forced to withdraw from the Aviva World Trials and UK Championships in her home town of Sheffield.
A foot injury has robbed her of the chance to thrill a sell-out crowd at the EIS.
Ennis, who is already assured of her place in the World Indoor Championships in Doha next month, said: "After competing in Glasgow last week and a pretty intense training week, I felt a slight niggle in my foot, like a muscle knot.
"An MRI scan on Monday night has shown a slight ligament strain and, as a precautionary measure under the advice of the UKA doctor Paul Dijkstra, I am going to have to rest it in the short term to ensure the quickest recovery.
"This means me missing the trials this weekend in front of my home crowd; I am truly devastated."
