Fu Out For Two Months With Fractured Elbow

Marco Fu has pulled out of the upcoming International Championship qualifiers and Xi’an Grand Prix having fractured his elbow. 

The three-time ranking event winner from Hong Kong posted on social media to say: “Ouch I’ve just fractured my elbow haha…..don’t ask me how. Nothing too serious, but will be out of action for roughly 2 months. Sadly l need to withdraw from a number of tournaments, hopefully l can get back on the table ASAP. Thank you for your support, take care and see you soon.”

In the International Championship qualifiers, Fu was due to face Neil Robertson on Tuesday September 30th, and he has been replaced in the draw by Umut Dikme. 

In the Xi’an Grand Prix, Fu had already won his qualifying match and was due to face Kyren Wilson or Haris Tahir in the second round, so the winner of that tie will receive a bye to the last 32.

Fu had enjoyed a strong start to the season, winning eight of his first 12 matches, and has an average sot time of 15.6 seconds, the fastest on the tour this term.

Ouch indeed! I’m wishing Marco the best possible, a full recovery, without lingering pain and a prompt but not hastily return to the baize.
