LUKE Littler says he does not know how he will perform at the Flanders Open this weekend after undergoing emergency dental treatment.
Warrington’s 18-year-old world champion had a tooth removed yesterday at an emergency dentist in Manchester after being “in pain for hours and hours”.
Littler is normally doing the ‘taking out’ at the oche, looking calm and composed, but was left “in shock and shaken” after his trip to the dentist’s chair.
‘The Nuke’ is flying to Belgium today ahead of the European Tour event in Antwerp.

Littler said on his Instagram story: “In pain for hours and hours, so had to get tooth out. Luckily they were able to do it and sort me out but hopefully it’s all good for Saturday.
“Everyone knows I love Belgium and hopefully I can play my best darts.
“I’ve never had this done and I don’t know how I’m going to be feeling but right now I am in shock and shaken as I didn’t know what to expect.”
Littler will play the winner of Dylan Slevin or Francois Schweyen tomorrow.
