DARTS star Gary Anderson was forced to abandon a Players Championship event due to a shoulder injury.
The Scot, 53, was tied at 3-3 with German Martin Schindler, 27, at the time of the withdrawal.
After hitting 60 in the seventh leg of a best-of-11 match, Anderson was seen fidgeting with his shoulder and shaking his head.
He then spoke to the caller before shaking Schindler’s hand and walking away.
And the commentator admitted it wasn’t a surprise as he was dealing with the shoulder problem.
The darts broadcaster said: “Yes, Gary Anderson is withdrawing from the match.
“I don’t think there’s much surprise in that, he’s obviously in a lot of pain in his shoulder.
“We are on the cusp of a busy time of the calendar year, with many Euro tours coming up.
“Gary Anderson shakes hands with Martin Schindler. He tried to move on.
“So it’s a walkover for Martin Schindler.”

Fans on social media were disappointed to see Anderson withdraw from the match as they showed sympathy for the two-time world champion.
One said: “I hate seeing it.”
While another replied: “Not nice to see.”
Anderson’s defeat saw Schindler advance to the quarter-finals, where he was defeated by the night’s winner, Dave Chisnall.
Anderson, who has missed the Premier League for the second season in a row, was knocked out in the fourth round of the World Cup by Brendan Dolan in December.
He last reached the final in 2021 when he lost 7-3 to Gerwyn Price.
