“He’s back to normal, he’s back in full training and he’s good to go,” Simms told the Daily Telegraph.
“His body is back to normal. The muscle tightness has gone.”
Simms added that Bolt will return to training next week.
“He had a slightly tight hamstring during the trials and that’s why possibly he didn’t push as hard as he could have,” added Simms.
“He was just protecting that. The main thing at the trials was to get through and get on the team for the Olympic Games.
“His coach decided that he needs to get a little bit of massage and treatment on that and rest up, and then train again hard next week so that he’s ready for the Olympic Games.”
