Van Gerwen receives medical treatment for back injury; World Cup match against Germany in doubt
PDCSunday, 08 November 2020 at 12:34
Michael van Gerwen is being medically assessed ahead of this afternoon's tie against Germany at the World Cup of Darts with potential doubts regarding Netherlands' continuation in Salzburg.
Van Gerwen woke up with recurrence of a long standing back problem which has previously seen him pull out of tournaments including the UK Open and a World Series event where he played with the pain but pulled out following it.
The World Number One remains hopeful of playing this afternoon but there are still doubts going into the game. Should Van Gerwen be unable to compete, Germany would receive a bye straight through to the semi-finals.

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
