Wright Fine for Chelsea - Ipswich Town News

Full-back David Wright will be available for Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie at Chelsea after recovering from his hamstring injury.

Wright told the club site: "The hamstring is fine now and I've trained for the last couple of days with the rest of the lads.

"I have been working with the fitness coach for the last two weeks and stepped things up at the weekend and there has been no reaction.

"As far as I'm concerned I'm fit and available for selection for the Chelsea game, but the lads got a great result at Crystal Palace, so it will be down to the gaffer obviously."

Wright is likely to return to the Town side at right-back against the former Premier League champions with Alex Bruce probably moving into the centre in place of Pim Balkestein.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have advised fans travelling to the game on Saturday that the District Line will be closed between Earl's Court and Whitechapel.

They advise travelling supporters to instead use the Central Line from Liverpool Street to Notting Hill Gate and then to travel south to Fulham Broadway on the District Line.
