The last chance for Kenny, who has not yet returned to team training, to gain the points she needs is at next month's Track Nations Cup in Milton, Canada.
However, even if Britain's most successful female Olympian was to ride at that event, she would have her work cut out to earn selection for Paris in a squad that won the world team pursuit title in her absence last year.
