Gomes has withdrawn from the tour of the Mik to London due to injury.  He will be replaced by Denis Matvienko as Semionova's partner in Giselle.

Terrible news! I hope it's not serious and he's back in good health for the spring season in the U.S. He's still listed for the April Kennedy Center engagements, although they'd probably not be in a hurry to announce a substitution.

He's also still listed for the Mar 23 single performance that ABT has in Florida.  However, his role is merely to partner Kent in the SL adagio pdd, which does not require any jumping or spinning.  Even with an injury he could still do that role. I don't know the nature or extent of his injury, but an ABT Met season without him would certainly be a big let down.

I assume that this review will be posted in the daily reports section, but for now just note that Gomes did perform March 23 with Kent in Swan Lake.
