Those are Gary Anderson who faces a long spell on the sidelines to recuperate after his back injury. As well as Raymond van Barneveld who previously said he’d try and play most if not everything this year. It’s duly noted though that he has exhibitions that weekend with Phil Taylor which were arranged months prior so has a valid reason to miss these Players Championship events in this instance.
Corey Cadby is still going through visa issues so will not be involved either. Ritchie Edhouse, Boris Koltsov and Stephen Burton as a result take the three reserve spots as a result.
