Johnson has an outdoor personal best of 6.80m

The 24-year-old, winner of Commonwealth and European silver medals in 2002, will sit out the entire summer after suffering a prolapsed disk.

Johnson's focus is now the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne next March.

Johnson said: "I have been told by the specialists that rest is the best remedy. I don't want to try and rush back to jumping too soon."

The Londoner reached the final at last year's Olympics in Athens.
