Town Hope For Injury Clear-up - Ipswich Town News
Town are hoping that the injury situation should have cleared up by the time we play Everton at Portman Road on February 24th. The two week gap in fixtures comes as a bit of a godsend to Town who are suffering with a number of knocks, particularly in defence.
Hamstring victims Fabian Wilnis and Hermann Hreidarsson should have recovered from their problems after missing Saturday's game at Highbury. Alun Armstrong's back problem isn't thought to be serious after initial fears that it might be a recurrence of his old back problem.
The only real doubts are Gary Croft, who clashed with Titus Bramble and injured a knee ligament, and Marcus Stewart who may be out suspended unless his red card is rescinded. John McGreal has completed his suspension.
