Michael van Gerwen’s best mate raises concern about darts star that’s ‘not getting better’

Vincent van der Voort doesn’t think Michael van Gerwen has had the time to get over his neck injury as the star continues to struggle for form. It’s been a harrowing season this far for ‘MVG’, compounded by having to withdraw from his Premier League Darts match in Berlin two weeks ago.
Just minutes before he was set to take on Gerwyn Price, it was announced that the three-time world champion had pulled out with a neck injury. He returned in Manchester last Thursday, losing in the semi-finals to Nathan Aspinall, but has now slipped out of the top four. Despite being on home soil for Players Championship 13 this week, there was a further blip as he was beaten in the first round by Mario Vandenbogaerde.
