Gian van Veen withdraws from Premier League Darts Night Seven in Dublin
Gian van Veen has withdrawn from Night Seven of Premier League Darts in Dublin on Thursday for medical reasons.
The Dutch number one was hoping to continue his impressive start to his debut season, sitting in fourth place after finishing runner-up on three occasions.
However, the European Champion has been ruled out of Night Seven at the 3Arena after being diagnosed with kidney stones.
The 23-year-old is currently receiving treatment in hospital and is also likely to miss the Belgian Darts Open in Wieze this weekend.
Van Veen’s scheduled quarter-final opponent – Michael van Gerwen – receives a Bye through to the semi-finals under tournament rules.
Van Gerwen receives two league points and +1 leg difference, while Van Veen receives no league points and -6 leg difference, which sees him drop out of the play-off places.
