Civelli In Reserves at Stevenage - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Luciano Civelli will get another game under his belt this evening when the reserves face Stevenage at Broadhall Way (KO 7pm). Manager Roy Keane says the Argentinian is still to show that he’s ready for a first team recall after 18 months out with a multi-ligament knee injury.

Keane said: "Luca will be at Stevenage, like one or two of the young boys and lads coming back from injury. We keep saying we want to give lads a game based on merit and Luca is still playing catch-up, which is understandable because he’s been out for so long.

"But he’s getting more training sessions under his belt and getting more games under his belt and he’ll get another one at Stevenage.”

Bermudian winger Reggie Lambe is likely to be in the side having missed yesterday’s Carling Cup tie, while Alan Quinn may not be involved having been back in Ireland due to a family matter. Quinn had been down to make his first appearance for the reserves since injuring his groin in the pre-season friendly at Leiston.

Jamie Griffiths, who made his first team debut in last night's Carling Cup victory over Northampton, Shane O'Connor and Luke Hyam are also set to be involved.

So far this season Chris Kiwomya’s side have won one, drawn one and lost two and sit in fifth in the http://full-time.thefa.com/ProcessPublicSelect.do?psSelectedSeason=4807168&psSel Football Combination East Division.
