Paralympian David Roberts has withdrawn from the British team at the European Disability Swimming Championships in Reykjavik.
Roberts fractured his elbow and bruised his ribs and right shoulder in a fall, while Watts has a rotator cuff injury.
“All athletes, coaches and staff wish him well and hope to see him back as soon as possible,” national performance director Tim Reddish said.

Roberts won four gold medals at the 2008 Paralympics, taking his career total to 11, and was part of the 4×100m freestyle relay team that broke the world record by seven seconds.
