Keane: Wrights Unavailable - Ipswich Town News
Manager Roy Keane says released pair David and Richard Wright made themselves unavailable for Sunday’s game against Sheffield United due to injury. The Blues boss says the pair would have been involved in the season’s last match.
Keane said: "A couple of players today missed the game through injury, David Wright and Richard Wright.
"They didn’t make themselves available for today, and they would have been involved, most definitely.
"Strangely they turned in for training yesterday not 100% fit. One trained and then walked in after half an hour saying he wasn’t right. But there you go.”

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
