PETERBOROUGH have been given a boost over the fitness of Artem Laguta ahead of their crunch clash with Leicester on Thursday.
Laguta missed his final ride in Monday's win over Sheffield due to sustaining an ankle injury after an awkward second-bend tangle with team-mate Chris Harris in Heat 10, although he made a superb move to win the re-run before the ankle swelled up.
However, the good news is nothing is broken and he will have more treatment locally before taking his place against the Lions.
Thursday's meeting is hugely significant and will decide the final play-off place, with the Lions needing to score 34 points to knock out Ipswich - whereas if the Crendon Panthers win the match and take the aggregate point, trailing 57-33 from the reverse fixture, it will eliminate Leicester and put the Witches through.
