Town are set to play a behind-closed-doors friendly with Premier League West Ham United at the Premier League side’s Rush Green training ground this afternoon.

Speaking after Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Cardiff City, Blues boss Kieran McKenna said some of his players would be involved in a friendly this week with Town having no first-team game on Saturday.

“They’ll have a weekend off next weekend, but we have a friendly next week,” he told BBC Radio Suffolk. “We’re still integrating some of the new players.

“There’s very, very little training time when we start back after the international break, it’s Saturday plus midweek games every week until the October international break.

“We have to make use of the training time as well, try and get better, so it will be a balance of some good quality training, a match for those who haven’t played so much and, of course, some much-needed rest.”

West Ham are set to field trialist Jesse Lingard, who has been without a club since being released by Nottingham Forest at the end of last season.

It’s understood that the clubs have agreed that the game won’t be filmed and no footage will be made available.

WhoisJimmyJuan added 18:00 - Sep 7 I'd forget about Axel T as well. He's talking to Real Betis now apparently. Given he was on £50k a week or more at Man U I think his financial ambitions are too lofty for us.
