King's Lynn's captain Nicolai Klindt's been hospitalised after a crash in Poland.

Klindt, who has recorded a string of high scores for the Stars this season, was brought down in a three-man pile-up during the Ostrow v Gdansk fixture on Sunday.

He has suffered a broken neck in two places, with a C3 fracture, although, in a statement shared, the Stars say there are no complications and he does have movement in his arms and legs.

The incident also involved Oliver Berntzon and Francis Gusts who have heavy bruising.

Bosses at King's Lynn say they "would like to send Nicolai our very best wishes".
