WILMINGTON, North Carolina (Reuters) - Dustin Johnson said on Wednesday he has recovered from the back injury that ruled him out of the last month's U.S. Masters but is not sure what to expect in his competitive return at this week's Wells Fargo Championship.

The American world number one, who withdrew from the year's first major only moments before his opening round a day after a freak fall down a staircase in his rental home, said he has not been able to practise much since the incident.
