Michael van Gerwen confirmed he will play on Friday during the fourth day of the PDC Winter Series. He suffered an back-injury during the World Cup of Darts in Salzburg, but is fit enough to play in the final two Players Championship events of the season.
Michael van Gerwen has recovered enough from his back-injury to participate in the two final days of the PDC Winter Series on Friday and Saturday, he confirmed to Dutch website Dartsnieuws.
The world number one had already decided to skip the first three days of the PDC Winter Series prior to last weekend's World Cup of Darts. However, Van Gerwen suffered an injury (trapped nerve) during the World Cup of Darts and was treated for this in the hospital.
It was then uncertain whether he could play against Germany together with Danny Noppert. He did at the end, but the Dutch duo lost to Max Hopp and Gabriel Clemens in the pairs. After the tournament Mighty Mike wanted to wait with deciding whether he would compete during the PDC Winter Series.
However he made the decision early this week and traveled to Coventry on Wednesday for the last two Players Championship events of the season.

- 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 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
