The plan was for Sarah Lahti to run 5,000 metres in Birmingham, but a heel injury has ended the 31-year-old's European Championship hopes.
"I've had problems with my heel since February and had to take a break from running for three months. Now things are going in the right direction and training is going well, but I don't dare put on my spikes yet," she says in a statement on the Swedish Athletics Federation's website.
This summer's European Athletics Championships will be held in Birmingham from 10 to 16 August. The Swedish team will be announced next week.
