The Scotwaste Monarchs have possibly hit their first injury worry of the season with a back injury sustained by Thomas Jonasson at the weekend.

The young Swede felt the problem when he jarred his back in one of his heats at Glasgow, and he will visit his local doctor in Sweden to get his opinion. He feels at the moment that he may have to rest for a few days and could miss the important matches with Workington this weekend.

Monarchs' promoter John Campbell said ?It's the last thing we wanted, though I knew at Glasgow that Thomas wasn't 100%.

?What we really need for him is an injury free run while he learns about the UK tracks to develop his full potential over here.

?Hopefully the problem will clear up and we will see him at the weekend.?
