Roberts and Watts are both out because of injury

Paralympians David Roberts and Danielle Watts have withdrawn from the British team at the European Disability Swimming Championships in Reykjavik.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 them both well and hope to see them back as soon as possible," national performance director Tim Reddish said.

The competition takes place between 18-26 October.

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.
