Michael van Gerwen has returned to action in the Premier League after being punched in the face during a confrontation while on a night out in the Netherlands celebrating King's Day on Monday. The incident occurred as the three-time world champion was enjoying the national holiday, with reports describing the attack as sudden and unprovoked.
According to sources close to the player, the altercation left Van Gerwen with visible injuries, though he was able to resume his Premier League duties shortly after. The Dutchman's participation in the weekly event had been in doubt following the assault, but he took to the stage as scheduled.
Fans can watch Premier League Darts live on Sky Sports every Thursday, where Van Gerwen will continue his campaign in the 2026 season. The exact details of the bar fight remain under investigation, but those present noted that the attacker's anger appeared to come out of nowhere.
