Bullard and Murphy Missing at Leicester - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Jimmy Bullard and goalkeeper Brian Murphy are missing from the Town line-up for this afternoon’s end of season game at Leicester. The goalkeeper’s absence may well confirm rumours suggesting that the Irishman has turned down his new contract.

The former Bohemians man was due to meet with Paul Jewell yesterday to give him his decision.

Central defender Gareth McAuley returns for what must be his final Town game after a groin injury, while skipper David Norris may also be playing his last match for the Blues.

Connor Wickham is back after his rib injury, while Lee Martin returned after his three-match ban and Josh Carson dropped to the bench.

Town: Fülöp, Edwards, Kennedy, Delaney, McAuley, Norris, Leadbitter, Healy, Martin, Wickham, Scotland. Subs: Peters, Lee-Barrett, Drury, Brown, Civelli, Murray, Carson.
