Portsmouth Recall Begovic - Ipswich Town News
Portsmouth have recalled keeper Asmir Begovic from his loan spell with the Blues after David James picked up a calf injury in the warm-up ahead of their game at Stoke yesterday. The Bosnian international was due to remain with Town until January.
Begovic made six appearances for the Blues in just over a month at the club, taking over from Richard Wright after the former England man had made a number of crucial errors.
Manager Roy Keane will now have to decide whether to return to Wright or look at bringing in another loan keeper before Thursday's deadline. Prior to signing Begovic, Keane made an enquiry to Birmingham City regarding the availability of Irish international Colin Doyle.
The Blues also have Arran Lee-Barrett in their ranks with the former Hartlepool man contracted until January when new signing Brian Murphy officially joins the club on a Bosman from Irish side Bohemians.
