Darts superstar van Gerwen has his jaw broken

After the painful 15:18 defeat in the final of the World Matchplay against Luke Humphries, the Dutchman will focus on his health in the coming weeks rather than on trophies, arrows and prize money. "I have a severe underbite and it bothers me a lot. They are going to break my upper and lower jaw and reset them," he announced in an interview. “It’s frustrating not being able to even bite through a slice of ham.” Michael van Gerwen “They will push my upper jaw forward six millimetres and my lower jaw back three millimetres,” “Mighty Mike” explained to the Dutch newspaper AD He is aiming for his comeback at the end of August. It is important to "do the right thing for yourself and think long-term," said van Gerwen. "It is frustrating not even being able to bite through a slice of ham. At some point, it's just enough." Humphries the undisputed number 1 Most of the major titles have recently gone to world champion Humphries, who also won the Phil Taylor Trophy and £200.000 (around €240.000) in prize money in the famous Winter Gardens. "I'm delighted to have my name on this trophy named after Phil Taylor. To achieve this in the same year as my first world title is very emotional for me," said Humphries. The Englishman is currently unassailable at the top of the world rankings. In addition to his successes at the World Championship and the World Matchplay, the 29-year-old also currently holds the titles at the World Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.
