It appears Lin Dan will not be playing afterall... His name was removed from the list Makes me wonder if he'll be back in time for the World Championships with Cheng Long, Du Pengyu and Chen Jin on top of him in the world rankings
LYB only cares on players who are on form. If a player is not on form, like Wang Yihan last time, he did not even send her to Asian Games even though she was ranked no 1. I think if LYB find LD is still not on form yet, he will let him miss this year WC.
