Djokovic's bid for a record 25th grand slam title was prematurely halted in Melbourne last month after withdrawing from his semi-final clash with Alexander Zverev.
The Serbian was booed by the crowd at Melbourne Park and responded by posting a photo of an MRI scan taken of his left hamstring with the caption: "Thought I'd leave this here for all the sports injury 'experts' out there."
Known as 'The Wall' for his impeccable skills in front of the goalpost, Sreejesh was instrumental in guiding the team through remarkable successes, including two Asian Games gold medals, and two Champions Trophy silver medals.
He also withdrew from Serbia's Davis Cup first-round qualifying loss to Denmark, but now turns his attention to claiming a 100th tour title, a milestone only Roger Federer (103) and Jimmy Connors (109) have achieved.
"There's no longer any muscle tear. The injury is almost 100 per cent healed, and I'm ready to go for more victories," Djokovic told Montenegrin newspaper Vijesti.
"I have the green light from the medical team to train, to prepare. The Doha tournament is in seven days' time, and I'm sticking to my schedule."
