Clarke Back for Stoke - Ipswich Town News

Striker Billy Clarke will be back in the Town squad for Saturday's home game with Stoke City. The Irish youngster missed Saturday's 1-0 home victory over Leeds due to a recurrence of his ankle injury.

Boss Jim Magilton said: "He's taken a few knocks along the way and we will have to nurse him along, but he will be in the squad for the game against Stoke on Saturday.”

Clarke is likely to be used sparingly during the busy Christmas period when Magilton will rotate his squad.
