Wednesday, 7 February 2018 16:00

Laura Kenny is set to return to the velodrome six months after the birth of her first child.

The 25-year-old four-time Olympic champion will make her competitive return at the Track Cycling World Championship on 28 February in Apeldoorn, Netherlands.

She will be joined by husband and six-time Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny in the British squad.

The Kennys' first child, Albert, was born in August 2017 and a month later 29-year-old Jason revealed he had reversed a decision to retire.

The Kennys are two of seven Olympic champions in Britain's 22-strong squad, with Ed Clancy, Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Phil Hindes and Callum Skinner also selected.
