INJURY COUNT

Ronnie O'Sullivan is expected to play in the Shanghai Masters on Wednesday despite injuring his back on arrival in China.

The world no.1 has received treatment but has also been practising at the venue ahead of his clash with Graeme Dott, who pulled out last year after breaking his wrist playing football.

Speaking of which, Mark Williams has had a new cast put on his broken right wrist and it is said to be causing him more pain than the previous one. However, he will still play Joe Swail in the first round.

Stephen Maguire has injured his shoulder and is resting up before he tackles Barry Hawkins.

My new shoes are rubbing my heels but I'm attempting to be stoic and tough it out.
