Cian McPhillips will miss next month’s World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, having been forced to cut his indoor season short following a dental issue earlier this month.

The Longford athlete had intended to race at the event and shaped up as a medal contender after a hugely impressive opening to the season in Boston last month, coasting to victory over 600m, clocking 1:16.37.
