Farah, 31, is due to run for England in the 5,000m and 10,000m at Glasgow 2014.

But he pulled out of last weekend’s Diamond League event at Hampden Park because of illness.

Asked on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday if he was going to be fit for the Games, Farah replied: “It’s a good question. I don’t know.”

He added: “Hopefully I should be good. I have missed a bit of training, but we’ll make a decision further down the line.”

Farah was admitted to hospital in the United States with abdominal pains at the start of the month and has had further tests in the United Kingdom.

He says team doctors have given him the all-clear to return to training but has not confirmed whether he will run in his next scheduled race over two miles at the London Anniversary Games on Sunday.

The track and field competition at the Commonwealth Games start on Sunday, 27 July.

“I’ll see what I can do,” added Farah. “My aim is to compete in both events.”
