Last year\’s U.S. Open champion first felt the injury in Shanghai last October and it failed to clear up going into the new season.
Williams, a five-time Miami titlist, pulled out with a knee injury which she continues to rehabilitate following her victory at the Australian Open.
The tournament announced that Venus Williams will compete for a fourth title on Thursday night. She won in Miami in 1998, 1999 and 2001.
