Clarke Not in Squad - Ipswich Town News
Striker Billy Clarke has not been named in the squad travelling to Oakwell for Saturday's game with Barnsley. Better news is that Owen Garvan, Gavin Williams and Lewis Price are all included in the travelling party.
Clarke has been suffering with an ankle injury all week but is likely to be OK for Wednesday's game at Derby County. Danny Haynes is likely to come into the side for the Irishman.
Price is likely to be on the bench after his recent broken rib, with Jarslav Drobný left out due to his hamstring problem.
Neither Garvan nor Williams are expected to start but could play some role from the bench.
Squad: Bates, Bruce, De Vos, Garvan, Harding, Haynes, Lee, Legwinski, Macken, Naylor, Peters, Price, Richards, Roberts, Supple, Walton and Williams.
