Van Gerwen underwent scheduled surgery on his teeth on Monday and has not yet recovered sufficiently to play in the Nations tournament this weekend in Frankfurt, being replaced in the Dutch team by Dirk van Duijvenbode, who will now partner Danny Noppert for the second year running.
"I wish Danny & Dirk good luck and I hope they can win a fifth World Cup for the Netherlands," concludes van Gerwen.
