Luke Littler will return to Premier League Darts action tomorrow night after admitting he had been struggling with illness in his last outing.
The 19-year-old's campaign has got off to a steady start over the first two nights, though he has yet to secure a nightly win.
Following his elimination on February 12, Littler said: "A bit of flu going on, but this is darts, we've just got to get on with it. My game at the minute is going well, playing well.
"Last week didn’t go to plan but it’s a fresh week. Everyone knows, I’ve said it for the past two years, I’ve won both European tours in Belgium, get a Premier League here. The PDC have sorted it."

"I love the stage, I love producing it, especially when I'm playing like that."
