Midfielder Chris Bart-Williams has been given the go-ahead to play for the reserves against Fulham this evening at Portman Road. The former Charlton player had an injection on his recent back problem at the weekend.

Also included in the starting line-up are Richard Naylor, Georges Santos, Drissa Diallo, Martijn Reuser and Alun Armstrong.

Fulham will also field a fairly strong side with ex-Blue Bobby Petta set for his first return to Portman Road after leaving for Celtic - from where he is currently on loan - via a Bosman transfer in 1999.

The Cottagers also have Barry Hayles, Facundo Sava, Junichi Imamoto and Ian Pearce in their side.

Town reserves: Lewis Price, Scott Mitchell, Scott Barron, Georges Santos, Drissa Diallo, Richard Naylor, Daniel Flack, Martijn Reuser, Alun Armstrong, Liam Craig, Chris Bart-Williams. Subs: Aidan Collins, Shane Supple, Alfie Kamara, Stuart Boardley, Billy Clarke.
