The 24-year-old made the announcement of his comeback on social media. The star Indian athlete will return to action on August 26.
"Feeling strong and ready for Friday. Thanks for the support, everyone. See you in Lausanne! @athletissima," posted said in a Twitter post while sharing a picture of himself.
Chopra, who won the silver medal at the Eugene World Athletics Championships earlier in the year, skipped the ensuing Commonwealth Games in Birmingham due to a groin strain.
