PREVIEW: KING’S LYNN v WOLVERHAMPTON (Prem)

WOLVERHAMPTON skipper Sam Masters has been ruled out of tonight’s (Thursday) away trip to King’s Lynn.

Wolves are going for two East Anglian wins in a week after being successful at Peterborough on Monday, but they will be without Masters who is still in discomfort with a foot injury and has been referred to a specialist fracture clinic.

It means both sides will operate rider replacement at No.1 as the Stars remain a six-man team in the absence of Niels-Kristian Iversen.

King’s Lynn boss Alex Brady said: “Wolves are packed full of experience and riders who have shown a liking for our track in the past.

“We know we’ll need all six of our riders on their A game to stand any chance of getting the three points we so desperately need to break free of this rut we are in.”

Wolves star Ryan Douglas said: “Of course being without Sam is a blow, but there’s no reason why we can’t get something from the meeting if we all carry on where we left off on Monday.

“King’s Lynn can be a tough place to go as an away rider but we can use the win over Peterborough as motivation and look to carry that on.”

KING’S LYNN: Niels-Kristian Iversen R/R, Richie Worrall, Richard Lawson, Lewis Kerr, Josh Pickering, Thomas Jorgensen, Jason Edwards.
WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters R/R, Steve Worrall, Luke Becker, Ryan Douglas, Nick Morris, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint.
