Stewart 5050 - Ipswich Town News

Marcus Stewart is rated as 50/50 for Sunday's agme with Blackburn Rovers. Town's top striker is suffering from a hamstring problem picked up at the end of last week's game at leicester.

George Burley said of the injury: "Marcus will train with the rest of the squad and we will take it from there. With hamstring injuries you have to make sure they are 100% but so far, so good. We don't think it is a serious injury and have our fingers crossed, although it has got to be right for Marcus to play".

Other players out with problems include Sixto Peralta and Gary Croft while Andy Marshall, Tommy Miller and Fabian Wilnis are all on the way back.

As most did across the country Town's squad and management observed three minutes' silence at the training ground this morning.

Town have launched a new Yearbook including stats and player profiles. The book costs £3.99 and is available from the World of Punch.

Town's Publications Manager Mike Noye said: "We are delighted with the Yearbook which is right up to date with all the latest signings. The printing and the design elements are of the highest quality and we are confident our supporters will enjoy this new publication which goes on sale tomorrow."
