What surgery did Michael van Gerwen need?
Ahead of the World Darts Championship, the Dutchman also revealed he needed major dental surgery – and more will follow once that is complete.
He said: “I’m not even finished yet. I’m not even halfway through.
“I’m going to have an operation where they’re going to break my upper jaw and my lower jaw. Put them on top of each other.
“Then it’s all about recovery. Two more years in two years. So I’m almost done.
“Between the first operation this year and the second, there must be at least one year.
“That’s because my upper jaw is much smaller than my lower jaw. My underbite is over a centimeter long.
“Even a slice of ham, I can’t even bite properly. And because my upper jaw is too small, you also get less oxygen through your nose.
“It creates headaches. Less sleep. Things like that.
