Aspinall has been in Marbella on holiday with Jonny Clayton, Luke Humphries, Joe Cullen among others and issued a call to MVG saying 'where are you'. One place he won't be is Leicester with 'The Asp' who will next play during this next weekend in Leverkusen like Humphries and Clayton deciding to withdraw.
The Stockport ace has been sporadic in playing this season and has decided against the ProTour at times as is often his prerogative with Aspinall missing the end of year finals previously due to not wanting to play ProTour action.
He joins Pascal Rupprecht as the two latest withdrawals which also include Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Jonny Clayton as well as Dimitri van den Bergh who is out for medical reasons.

Who replaces players not involved?

Niko Springer, Oskar Lukasiak, Mattias Ehlers and Richard Veenstra for event one have decided not to play in the next double header.
Joe Hunt, Derek Coulson, Tommy Lishman, Daniel Ayres, Tommy Morris, Aden Kirk, Christopher Wickenden, Nathan Potter, Jack Tweddell and Harry Ward (PC23) deputise off the Challenge Tour. The latter two being new additions to the line-up.

Given ordinarily the ProTour has lots of late withdrawals like the European Tour, it is likely we see some more tomorrow morning before play begins. But Aspinall at the very least is out of the next two.
