Higher integrability for Sobolev functions

Let $u \in W^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ be a given function satisfying $$\frac{1}{|B_r|}\int_{B_r(x)} |\nabla u|^2 dy \leq \frac{1}{r^{\delta}}$$ for all $r \leq 1$, $x \in \mathbb{R}^2$ and some fixed $\delta \in (0,1)$.

Hueristically, this looks like that the gradient cannot go to infinity too quickly. In this sense, does it rigorously imply that $\nabla u \in L^{2+\epsilon}$ for some $\epsilon >0$?
