Ingimarsson Again Set to Miss Out - Ipswich Town News

New Town signing Ãvar Ingimarsson is again set to be on the sidelines when the Blues take on Southend United in a friendly at Roots Hall this evening (KO 7.45pm). The Icelander, who joined on a free transfer from Reading this summer, has missed all Town’s pre-season games so far due to a thigh injury.

Boss Paul Jewell is taking essentially the same squad that played in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw at Cambridge to face the Shrimpers.

Speaking about Ingimarsson after the game at the Abbey Stadium, Jewell said the club are being careful with the 34-year-old: "He’s been doing some fitness work but we’re aware he’s got a thigh strain.

"It’s a difficult one because if we push him too much and he tears it, he’ll be out for a long time.”
