Lyles, meanwhile, became the year's fastest man when he defeated Baker in last weekend's U.S. championships, running a lifetime best 9.88 seconds to Baker's 9.90 seconds.

Lyles also is the year's co-leader in the 200m with a top time of 19.69.

Baker twice beat Coleman in earlier Diamond League meetings.

The Rabat field also will include American Mike Rodgers, who ran 9.89 at the U.S. championships, South African Akani Simbine and Britain's Reece Prescod.
