Eagles play down Rico injury fears
10:12pm Thursday 1st May 2008
Eastbourne Eagles tonight insisted Lee Richardson WILL ride against the leaders, despite a heavy crash in Poland.
Richardson was forced out of Czestochowa's 50-41 home defeat by Torun in the Ekstraliga and suffered a swollen hand.
The Sussex club's co-promoter Martin Hagon said X-rays after the meeting revealed no break.
Hagon added: "He is a bit battered but the good news is he will ride on Saturday."
Eagles face a key Elite League clash at home to table-topping Swindon on Saturday.
Richardson failed to score in two rides for a Czestochowa side who relied heavily on 20 points from former Eastbourne captain Nicki Pedersen.
Meanwhile, a haul of 10+1 (6) from Scott Nicholls could not save Rzeszow from a 52-39 defeat Zielona Gora.
