Gerwyn Price had been set to play Fallon Sherrock in the quarter-finals, who now gets a bye to the semis
World champion Gerwyn Price has withdrawn from the Nordic Darts Masters due to a recurrence of an elbow injury.
The Welsh world number one beat Daniel Larsson 6-3 in Friday's first round at Forum Copenhagen.
Price would have been due to face Fallon Sherrock in Saturday afternoon's quarter-finals.
"I'm gutted to have to withdraw, especially after getting the win, but I have to consider the long-term effects of the injury," said Price.
"It's a problem I've had previously and I know that playing up to three games on Saturday would be extremely tough and could also affect me ahead of some important events coming up.
"I want to thank the Danish fans for giving me a great welcome on Friday and I hope I can play in front of them again next year."
Following Price's withdrawal, Sherrock went on to reach the final, where lost Michael van Gerwen after he beat Welshman Jonny Clayton in the last four.
