LEICESTER’S Ryan Douglas has been ruled out of tonight’s (Thursday) home clash with Ipswich.
Douglas crashed in Sweden on Tuesday and suffered a hand injury, which has not improved sufficiently for him to be able to be fully confident of being able to race tonight.
The Watling JCB Lions will operate the rider replacement facility with all of their team members able to take one of the Australian’s outings.
Lion Cubs racer Max James will also be part of the line-up as No.8.
