TEAM boss Neil Middleditch has announced that Poole Pirates' stand-in skipper Maciej Janowski will miss Monday's Elite League play-off semi-final second leg against King's Lynn due to injury.
Janowski is understood to have hurt his arm while riding a motocross bike and becomes the fourth Pirates rider to miss the crucial decider against the Stars at Wimborne Road.
Spearhead Darcy Ward remains suspended while Josh Grajczonek is ruled out through injury. Vaclav Milik's absence due to commitments in the Czech Republic leave Poole without any of their current heat leaders.
Danny King and Craig Cook, who both guested in Pirates' 45-44 victory in the first leg, turn out again with Edward Kennett and Davey Watt also drafted in.
Middleditch said he had yet to decide on the running order for his one-to-seven.
