Williams on Wright Injury - Ipswich Town News

Town Physio Dave Williams has said that Richard Wright has every chance of being fit for Monday's match at Charlton. The Town keeper failed to make it through the warm-up before Saturday's game with Coventry. He found diving painful and Keith Branagan stood in for him and did well.

Williams said: "Richard had a spot of back trouble four or five years ago. It was a bit stiff on Friday and got worse when he was diving around in the warm-up. We don't think it is anything too serious. Hopefully it will settle down this week and there is every chance he will be fit for the Charlton match."

Wright came off injured after 14 minutes in Town's 3-1 defeat at the hands of Huddersfield in September 1996 and was replaced between the sticks by Neil Gregory. Marcus Stewart inevitably scored one of the Huddersfield goals. Wright missed the next month with the injury.

Martijn Reuser has a slight hamstring problem and came off with it feeling tight on Saturday. He is also likely to be OK for Monday.
