The former Premier League star was set to play two matches, including a first-round clash against world number 31 Marc Bijsterbosch.
The UK Open Pool Championship got underway today at the Telford International Centre.
But Deeney will not feature as a match commentator revealed the former Watford was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to injury.
The SunSport columnist, 35, was supposed to play in the third match of the day against Bijsterbosch before his last-minute withdrawal.
