Christine Ohuruogu has been excluded from the Great Britain and Northern Ireland squad for the European Championships in Barcelona.

The Olympic champion's quadricep problem has forced her to miss the competition, which begins on July 27.

"Initially we thought it wasn't serious but now it seems it is. I'll be out for the next few weeks," Ohuruogu said.

"I'm preparing for the rest of the season as well as I can despite the set-back. I am remaining positive and keeping my head focused."

Jessica Ennis will captain the 72-strong squad, which includes ten medallists from the 2009 World Championships in Berlin and five from the World Indoors held in Doha earlier this year.

Nicola Sanders has paid the price for an injury-disrupted season by being selected solely for the 4x400m relay, with the individual spot going to UK Championships winner Lee McConnell.

Veteran sprinter Christian Malcolm has secured a spot for the 200m, while promising youngster James Dasaolu keeps Dwain Chambers company in the 100m.
