With only two days to go before the start of England's campaign in the BDO World Cup in Monchengladbach, Surbiton defender Ben Marsden has been sent home after receiving an injury in the warm-up match against New Zealand on Saturday. Marsden, who injured his ankle in the match, has been replaced by Alastair Wilson of Loughborough Students. To add to England's woes, Barry Middleton picked up a minor hamstring injury in the same match and is likely to be ruled out of England's opening two matches. Middleton is one of the standout palyers in the squad and his absence is likely to impact of England's chances.
England play their opening match against India on Thursday.
