I'm gonna be honest, if Jakob is in the same shape as last year in his 7:54 2 mile, he will only really be challenged by Nuguse and Kerr. That's assuming they are in similar shape as well.
Do you think the injured person will beat either of them, let alone both?
Don´t rejoice to early.
As far as I understand Jakob has been in normal training for several month so I don´t think there has been much setback, if any.
He wasn´t ill in the end of last year and beginning of this. He was just doing alternative training to maintain/ improve his endurance. As Parker Valby has shown: alternative training can be quite beneficial for development of a runner´s endurance.
I won´t be surprised if he comes out one level up as he has annually the last fifteen years.
Because he’s run a faster 1500 than they ever have and he’s only 17?
So is Faith Kipyegon injured?
I know this is not a Diamond League event but Faith recently announced she wasn’t doing any DL events as she was focusing on Paris. So I guess that may apply to all racing. Not sure if that’s a great idea. But could be a cover and she is injured who knows.
Kenyan distance star Faith Kipyegon will return to the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene in 2024, where she joins Grant Holloway, Hansle Parchment, Diribe Welteji and Laura Muir in a star-studded line-up.

He will likely be racing in Oslo, you'd think. It seems Tim is also missing from this race and the LA Grand Prix. Perhaps Nike has loosened up the Pre Classic racing requirement, and is OK with athletes racing Oslo instead.
