Kleermaker and Payne ruled out of World Championship, Carolissen receives bye through to Second Round

Cameron Carolissen will receive a bye through to the Second Round of the PDC World Darts Championship after Martijn Kleermaker and his replacement, Josh Payne were ruled out of the tournament.
Kleermaker travelled to the UK for his World Championship debut which was set to happen on Sunday following an impressive debut year.
But he tested positive for COVID-19 and has been withdrawn from the tournament as per PDC protocols.
"I am very disappointed that I won't be able to take part in the World Championship," said Kleermaker.
"My health is my main priority and currently I am not displaying any symptoms, but I would ask everyone to respect my privacy at this difficult time.
"Thank you for your support and understanding."
Josh Payne was the highest ranked player who made it to the final round at the qualifier so was confirmed as the first reserve.
But Payne despite receiving a negative COVID-19 test has been in contact with someone in the last 24 hours who returned a positive test and now has to self isolate as a result.
With the first round tie set to take place on Sunday evening, there is no further opportunity to replace Kleermaker and so Carolissen is straight through to his tie with Danny Noppert. The evening session will now only feature three matches on Sunday as a result.
