BJARNE Pedersen has been ruled out of Pirates' play-off semi-final trip to Wolverhampton tonight.
Pedersen sustained a twisted knee in yesterday's Magnus Zetterstrom Farewell meeting in Sweden, the veteran Dane involved in a crash with Mikkel Michelsen.
Poole promoter Matt Ford has brought in Swindon and Somerset charger Rohan Tungate to fill in for the second-leg clash at Monmore Green.
Pirates have a 12-point advantage from the first leg and remain on course for an unprecedented fourth straight Elite League title.
