Town defender John McGreal returns to action for the reserves this evening when they face West Ham at Portman Road (KO 7pm). The former Tranmere man picked up a knee ligament problem earlier in the season and then aggravated back muscles during an unsuccessful return.

Alun Armstrong will continue to work on his fitness while the rest of the squad is made up of academy players.

Town: Pullen, Mitchell, Boardley, Hogg, McGreal, Collins, Westlake, Bloomfield, Abidallah, Murray, Armstrong, Bowditch, Flack, Chaffey, Peat, Reid, Atay.
