Eastbourne have confirmed they will use Timo Lahti as stand-in for the injured Kim Nilsson.
Lahti rides in the Joonas Kylmakorpi Testimonial at Arlington tomorrow and will face Birmingham in the league opener a week later.
He is likely to have further meetings for Eagles with Nilsson expected to be sidelined until early May by neck and back injuries.
