MICHAEL VAN GERWEN has withdrawn from the HappyBet International Darts Open for medical reasons due to an injured ankle.
As the tournament draw has been made, van Gerwen's scheduled second round opponent, Ryan Meikle, will receive a Bye through to the third round.
The game involving Jelle Klaasen and Chris Dobey has been moved to the evening session.
FURTHER UPDATE:
Daryl Gurney withdrew from the HappyBet International Darts Open on medical advice due to a broken finger.
The Northern Irish ace had travelled to Riesa and had hoped to be cleared to play, but his hand has not recovered sufficiently.
As a result, Yordi Meeuwisse now receives a Bye through to the third round.
