Drury in Contention for Saturday - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Andy Drury is available for Saturday's home game with Blackburn having overcome the calf injury which has kept him out of action since the Southend friendly.
Manager Paul Jewell said: "Andy trained yesterday, we had a hard session and he came through that and trained this morning. As long as there’s no reaction to his calf, he’ll be in contention.”
The Town boss is still waiting for Damien Delaney to return from Republic of Ireland duty in Serbia - where he was an unused sub - but his other two internationals are back at the club and fine: "Josh Carson came through training this morning after playing in the second half for Northern Ireland last night. Damien’s still away, Ronan Murray didn’t play and he’s OK, so everyone’s OK.”
Aside from summer signing Elliott Hewitt, who is sidelined until September due to the hip impingement operations he underwent while with Macclesfield, Jewell has a full strength squad.
