Edwards, from Telford, has been resting an ankle problem that forced her to miss the Dusseldorf Grand Prix at the end of February.

But she is part of a 10-strong Great Britain team in action over three days and will be chasing a medal in the -52kg category.

Edwards will hope to rediscover the form that saw her win a medal in each of her last five events of 2016 including a bronze at the Abu Dhabi Grand Slam in October, gold at the European Open in Glasgow and bronzes in Zagreb, Tallinn and Germany.
