Gerwyn Price has shared some welcome news ahead of his Premier League Darts semi-final clash with Luke Littler at the O2 Arena tonight.
The 41-year-old Welsh star took to Instagram to reveal that recent health tests had come back with encouraging results.
"Some great news today," Price wrote. "Results back and all good... No answers to the symptoms but the results I had were good."
It's a relief for the former world champion, who has been dealing with ongoing health concerns throughout the season.
While doctors still haven't pinpointed what's causing his symptoms, the positive test results will certainly ease some worry as he prepares for one of the biggest matches of the year against the reigning world champion.
The positive update comes just days after Price made the surprise decision to pull out of the UK Open Pool Championship on Tuesday, withdrawing mere minutes before he was due to face Kostiantyn Ivanov.
Price has been open about his struggles this season, particularly after a heavy 6-2 defeat to Jonny Clayton in Leeds earlier this month.
"My focus is there, it's just health-wise I am not in a great place at the moment," he admitted at the time. "But I am battling on and searching for some results."
He spoke of "frustrating times" and expressed hope that answers would come soon so he could "enjoy darts again."
Despite the challenges, Price has shown real resilience, reaching the final in Birmingham on 14 May before securing two more points in Sheffield to clinch his play-off spot.
Price finished fourth in the Premier League standings over the 16-week campaign, setting up tonight's showdown with table-topper Littler.
The teenage sensation claimed the world championship title and has been in brilliant form throughout the season.
In the other semi-final, Jonny Clayton will take on Luke Humphries, widely regarded as the hottest player on the circuit right now.
Clayton wrapped up second place in the regular season and faces the defending Premier League champion.
Humphries and Littler have met in each of the past two finals, with Humphries triumphing in 2025 after Littler beat him the year before.
But both Welsh players are dreaming of a different outcome tonight.
"It would be great to have an all-Welsh final. We're Welsh and proud," Clayton said.
The winner takes home £350,000.
