The New Zealand champion completed the remainder meeting in discomfort and is now set to go to hospital this morning (May 19).

Meanwhile Hansen withdrew from a Swedish second division fixture after a crash in his opening ride.

He was taken to hospital with rib damage and a fracture to his breastbone after the smash while riding for Vargarna at Vastervik.

But Hansen is due to fly into the UK this morning and Panthers bosses are optimistic he will be fit enough to face bottom side Berwick at the East of England Arena tonight (Friday, 7.30pm).
