Michael van Gerwen made light of a foot injury to beat Colin Lloyd and book his place in the quarter-finals of the PDC World Darts Championship and was joined in the final eight by compatriot Raymond van Barneveld and defending champion Adrian Lewis on Thursday night.
Speaking after his match, van Gerwen told Sky Sports: "It's not only one foot, it's two feet. One foot has a little fracture in there and the other has an infection of my Achilles. I don't know how I got it, but it's terrible for me of course. "But I'm so happy I played well, I never expected this. I was surprised I played this well and I want to keep this going. "I have two days off now and I'm going to let someone have a look at it, but I'm not playing with my feet I'm playing with my hands."
