Clarke in Squad - Ipswich Town News
Town have named a 17-man squad ahead of tonight's trip to Derby County. Striker Billy Clarke has been named in the party but faces a fitness test on his ankle before a decision is taken on whether he can play against the Rams.
The Blues are without Sylvain Legwinski, who is suspended for one game after reaching five bookings, Matthew Bates, who has returned to Middlesbrough after injuring his knee at Barnsley, and Fabian Wilnis, who has a hamstring problem.
Owen Garvan will start in place of Legwinski, while Alex Bruce will move to right-back in place of Bates with Richard Naylor coming back into the team at centre-half.
Squad: Bruce, Clarke, De Vos, Garvan, Harding, Haynes, Lee, Macken, Naylor, Peters, Price, Richards, Roberts, Sito, Supple, Walton, Williams.
