Wickham and Martin Back in Contention - Ipswich Town News

Town will have midfielder Lee Martin and striker Connor Wickham back from injury ahead of Tuesday’s visit to Peterborough.

Manager Roy Keane says the duo, who have been suffering with hamstring injuries, will come into consideration for his squad for the visit to London Road: "Lee is back in training now and we have Connor Wickham available as well.

"It looks like we will have a full squad available for the game and that's means plenty of competition for places.

"We know it will be a difficult game for us on Tuesday. We have lost and drawn with Peterborough this season and they are fighting for their lives, so we are going to have to roll our sleeves us and compete and show a lot of the positives that we saw against QPR."

Keane has confirmed that keeper Richard Wright is due to see a specialist tomorrow regarding his knee ligament injury and has been pencilled in for next Wednesday’s reserves game at home to Wycombe Wanderers.
