World champion Peter Wright has shared a snap in the hospital before going under the knife. The Scotsman was diagnosed with gallstones earlier this year and will now take some time away from darts to focus on his health.
He will now undergo a procedure to remove them and pulled out of the World Series of Darts events in Australia and New Zealand as a result. The 52-year-old tweeted a photo laying on a hospital bed while he waited to have his operation.
“So surgery day is here, finally,” he wrote. “I'm sorry to all my fans who expected 2 see me in Australia & New Zealand. But I had 2 make the choice between my health or the darts, unfortunately for my fans it was my health that won. I'm very nervous but I have @jowrighty8 by my side as always.”
