English finished fifth in his 800m heat, crossing the line in 1:51.35.
The Finn Valley AC man, who contracted Covid-19 last week, said the race ‘proved a little bit too much’.
Canadian Marco Arop won the heat in 1:48.13 with Sweden’s Andreas Kramer second in 1:48.25, also advancing to the final.
British athlete Elliot Giles did not go under starter’s orders in the heat having picked up an injury in the warm-up.
