Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles said he will make his return to action in the 200m at Friday's Diamond League in Monaco.
The 27-year-old American ran a 400m in Atlanta in April, but is yet to compete over the 100 or 200m this season.
Lyles' season debut in the half-lap race will see him line up against Botswana's Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo.
It will be the duo's first race since that final in Paris last summer when a Covid-struck Lyles claimed bronze.
Tebogo heads to Monaco as the sprinter to beat. He set the fastest time of the season over 200m in Eugene on Saturday, in 19.76sec.
