Stefan Andersson has been ruled out of Eastbourne Eagles' double-header with arch rivals Poole Pirates.

He is replaced by his fellow Swede Daniel Nermark for tomorrow's Elite League trip to Wimborne Road (11am) and return meeting at Arlington (7.30pm).

Andersson is still suffering the after-effects of a blow to the head suffered when falling in Poland on Sunday.

Nermark is one of the biggest stars of the Premier League, riding for champions Kings Lynn off an 8.60 average.

He will slot into the Eastbourne line-up at No. 2.
