Bruce Fine for Wolves Clash - Ipswich Town News

Central defender Alex Bruce is back in training and is expected to be fine to play in Saturday's crunch league clash at Wolves. Bruce limped off during the second half of Sunday's derby victory over Norwich City with a hamstring problem.

Physio Matt Byard told the club site: "Alex has made progress this week and returned to training today.

"We will see if there is any reaction overnight, but he should be OK for the Wolves game."

Meanwhile, Danny Haynes has targeted scoring at least three more goals and winning a place in the play-offs from the season's remaining games: "Getting into the play-offs is my main ambition this season and we know we are capable of finishing in the top six.

"The win over Norwich means we have everything to play for and we know we have a massive match at Wolves on Saturday.

"If we can reach the play-offs, you never know what might happen from there, but we have to finish in the top six first.

"I'd also like to reach double figures for goals this year as well. I start every year with targets and to get 10 goals is one of them."
