Darts Ace Gerwyn Price Withdraws from Premier League Event Due to Back Injury
In a disappointing turn of events for darts enthusiasts, Gerwyn Price, the Welsh darts superstar, has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming Premier League night in Aberdeen due to a persistent back injury. The news was reported on [date] by [source].
Price has been grappling with a trapped nerve in his back since last Friday, which also prevented him from participating in the Austrian Darts Open in Graz. Despite undergoing treatment, the Welsh player has not recovered sufficiently to travel to Scotland for the crucial Night 14 of the Premier League competition.
As a result of Price’s withdrawal, his quarter-final opponent, Luke Humphries, will receive a bye into the semi-finals, where he will face the winner of the match between Michael van Gerwen and Rob Cross. According to the tournament’s rules, Humphries will be awarded two points in the league table and a +1 leg difference, while Price will be deducted six leg difference.
This setback leaves Price in a precarious position, as he now sits in seventh place in the league standings, further jeopardizing his hopes of securing a spot in the coveted play-offs. Darts enthusiasts and fans will undoubtedly be disappointed by the news, as they eagerly anticipated witnessing the talented Welshman in action.
As the Premier League Darts competition continues to captivate audiences, the absence of Gerwyn Price will undoubtedly be felt, and fans will hope for his speedy recovery and return to the oche in the near future.
