Michael Van Gerwen Pulls Out of Glasgow Premier League Match Against Luke Littler
Michael van Gerwen withdrew due to illness, allowing Luke Littler to advance to the Premier League semi-finals with two points and a +1 leg difference, the PDC said.
On Thursday , Michael van Gerwen withdrew from Night Three in Glasgow due to illness, the PDC announced, allowing Luke Littler to receive a bye into the semi-finals.
Van Gerwen withdrew after being ruled out with a medical issue, with doubts over his fitness emerging on Wednesday and fellow Dutchman Vincent van der Voort saying he had 'picked something up' and was on antibiotics.
On Thursday, Van Gerwen had a strong start, winning Night One in Newcastle and reaching the Antwerp final, after beating Littler 6-4 last Thursday in Belgium.
Under Premier League rules Luke Littler advances automatically while Michael van Gerwen is penalised with no league points and-6 leg difference.
The withdrawal alters Night Three's lineup and removes a leading contender, with Price second on five points and Clayton third on four points, shaping the table impact.
