Traders expect a winning comeback

Selby was ruled out for weeks after suffering a freak injury at home. The 34-year-old told fans he dropped a piece of glass on his foot during practice. We’re not sure just what he was practicing. The result was a broken toe, with Selby forced to sit on the sidelines, wearing protective footwear. He assures followers he is back to full health, and Coral traders certainly appear to believe him.

Looking on the bright side, it didn’t happen at the busiest time of year, meaning he hasn’t missed too much snooker through that mishap. Selby faces Neil Robertson on Thursday afternoon, and is odds-on to get the desired result, 1/2 the current price. There’s a bit more for backers to get excited about in the outright market, 3/1 chalked up in midweek.
