Smith Back and Feeling Good - Ipswich Town News
Centre-half Tommy Smith is back in Suffolk and on his way to Town training after his gruelling round trip to New Zealand for their friendly against Jamaica on Wednesday, which the All Whites lost 3-2. The 21-year-old says he’s feeling fine despite his three-leg flight arriving in the UK early this morning.
Smith tweeted: "On route to training after a long trip! Body is feeling good though. Looking forward to getting back to the day job!”
Blues boss Paul Jewell says he will assess whether Smith is OK to play against Bristol City tomorrow with the decision possibly being left as late as Saturday morning.
Ibrahima Sonko will deputise if Smith isn't considered fit enough to face the Robins.
