Kolodziej msissing from Racers at Glasgow.

The Reading Racers will be without new Polish sensation Janusz Kolodziej for their long haul to Glasgow Tigers in a Premier League fixture on Sunday due to a commitment in his homeland.

Reading will not be granted a facility to cover for the rider and will be forced to use a Conference League rider, drafting in Edinburgh youngster Barry Campbell. Kolodziej will return to ride in the return fixture 24-hours later against Glasgow at Smallmead Stadium.

Racers pair Phil Morris and Shane Colvin still face a further spell on the sidelines due to injury, and will be covered by Workington's Rusty Harrison and Sheffield's Adam Allott at Glasgow, and Harrison and Rye House's Joel Parsons at Smallmead.

Reading's Jonas Davidsson will be hoping to continue his much-improved form of late at Smallmead, with has seen the 19-year-old turn in two match-winning performances in his last two home meetings.

Former Racer Armando Castagna was a welcome visitor to Smallmead last Monday for the clash with Sheffield Tigers, and took time to take a look at Racers newest Swedish star. Hesaid, "I have seen Jonas ride several times in Europe in the past and always knew he had a lot of potential. He can't be expected to come up with big scores all the time, as he is very young and still learning his trade but I'm sure he will become a very good rider one day."

Glasgow too have their own injury worries to one of their riders and have called up Stoke's Jan Staechmann to cover for James Grieves for both fixtures. Grieves is still sidelined with broken bones in his hand and a bout of concussion as a result of recent spill against Swindon.
