Wade to miss Premier League Darts in Sheffield as recovery from illness continues
PDC
James Wade will not compete at this week's Premier League Darts in Sheffield as he recovers from illness which was revealed on Wednesday morning.
Wade was taken ill at the European Darts Open and has been in hospital up until today when he returned to the UK and will now recuperate at home with no return date set as of yet.
"I'd like to thank all the medical staff for their care over the past few days and also to all the fans around the world who have sent messages of support," said Wade.
"Now that I'm home, I'll be taking time to recover fully before returning to playing when the time is right."
As a result under Premier League rules, Joe Cullen who still has a shout of the play-offs receives a 6-0 win and will face Gary Anderson or Gerwyn Price.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
