Gary Anderson heeft zich op maandagmorgen teruggetrokken uit de Unibet Premier League van 2019, wederom in verband met rugklachten.
De voormalig Premier League kampioen heeft een behandeling aan zijn rug ondergaan na zijn uitschakeling op het WK eind december.
De Schot, die afgelopen weekend ook al afwezig was op The Masters, heeft zich nu ook teruggetrokken voor de Premier League op medisch advies.
ANDERSON: ''I’m sorry to the fans that I won’t be there this year, I’m as gutted as anybody to have to miss out,
I’ve really tried to get myself right for the Premier League but it just hasn’t been physically possible because I’m in such pain when I even try and have a little practice and it would risk long term damage if I was to do anything other than rest and undergo treatment at the moment.
This isn’t a decision I’ve taken lightly but I don’t want to let the fans and myself down by putting in performances well below what is expected of me due to my injury.
My physio has advised me to rest for a few weeks to increase my chances of coming back stronger for the rest of the year and reduce the likelihood of me suffering repeated problems.”
