Leeds Team NewsNew Kit - Ipswich Town News

Town have a a few injury and suspension problems ahead of tomorrow's game with Leeds. John McGreal misses his first game after being sent off at Chelsea while Fabian Wilnis is definitely out with a hamstring injury and could be out for a while.

Jim Magilton is extremely unlikely to play Saturday also due to a hamstring, but he should be OK for Arsenal. TWTD columnist John Scales misses out with a recurrence of his hamstring injury which you can read more about in his latest column: http://www.twtd.co.uk/scales Scales also assesses the mood at Portman Road since Wednesday's defeat at Birmingham and how George Burley and Tony Mowbray might motivate the team for Saturday.

Town also have doubts over Titus Bramble who missed out at St Andrew's with a shin injury sustained at Sunderland. Jermaine Wright is also under treatment.

On the plus side Alun Armstrong returns after missing out at Birmingham because of his earlier appearance in the Worthington Cup with Middlesbrough. It is likely he will come in up front with Richard Naylor dropping to the bench and James Scowcroft going into midfield.

With Magilton and possibly Jermaine Wright missing there may be a place in midfield for Martijn Reuser. While at the back Amir Karic might be in with a chance of a first Premiership game as there are so many central defenders out.

Hermann Hreidarsson may move into the middle with Mark Venus, although Wayne Brown is another option. Of course, all these are left-sided defenders which may cause a problem. If Karic doesn't get a nod then Jamie Clapham may move to left-back, although he may be required in midfield should all Town's doubts miss out.

Gary Croft looks likley to deputise for Wilnis.

Neil Midgley gets a rare call into the first team squad while Nabil Abidallah is once again included and might get a call from the bench late on.

Squad: R Wright, Branagan, Salmon, Clapham, Croft, Karic, Hreidarsson, Venus, Bramble, Brown, Holland, Magilton, J Wright, Reuser, Scowcroft, Stewart, Armstrong, Naylor, Abidallah and Midgley.

Town have released the four options for the new home kit for next season. You can see these at http://www.twtd.co.uk/kits

Today's Do You Remember/ is South American 'star' Adrian Paz. What do you remember of the Uruguayan's short stay with Town? Did he get a raw deal when let go by Burley or was he just pants? Click the link on the Message Board: http://www.twtd.co.uk/messages
