Gerwyn Price admitted he is battling health problems after a crushing Premier League Darts defeat in Leeds.
The 41-year-old's ambitions of playing at London's O2 Arena were dealt a blow as he was defeated 6-2 by fellow Welshman Jonny Clayton.

What happened?

Gerwyn Price has enjoyed a stellar campaign so far, winning on the floor and the European Tour.
But on Thursday evening, his health issues came to the forefront after the defeat.

Why it matters for Gerwyn Price

The Welsh darts star and former world champion issued an update about his health, seven days on from his temporary switch to pool being announced and the PDC releasing a statement.
"My focus is there, it's just health-wise I am not in a great place at the moment," said Price.

What comes next?

Gerwyn Price will soon compete away from the PDC as he participates in the 2026 UK Open Pool Championship.
The competition potentially clashes with the Premier League Darts play-offs on May 28, but Price is determined to make the play-offs first.

Gerwyn Price told Sky Sports last week: "I went and watched the Mosconi Cup and have taken some interest in nine-ball pool and got an invite to the UK Open."
He plans to take it with both hands and give it a crack, hoping to make the Premier League Darts play-offs first.

The PDC released a statement saying: "Gerwyn does not require any special dispensation to participate. PDC players are free to take part in non-darts events outside of their playing commitments."
Price has 21 points with two weeks left and sits in third, but Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, and Gian van Veen are all in striking distance.

Gerwyn Price's participation in the £167,500 UK Open Pool Championship was confirmed one week before his health update.
The event is staged from May 26-31, and Price is in it to win it, despite the potential clash with the Premier League Darts play-offs.

The crowd has got Gerwyn Price through a lot of games, but sometimes things happen you can't control, he said.
This year has been great in the Premier League, and it's been a great start to the season for the Welsh darts star.

Gerwyn Price needs a lot of luck to go his way to make the play-offs, but he is battling on and searching for some results.
He hopes to see his fans at the O2 Arena, but for now, he is focusing on his health and upcoming events.
