Euro Ref - Ipswich Town News
The referee for Town's UEFA Cup second leg in Milan will be Frenchman Alain Sars. He will be assisted by female official Corinne Lagrange, who previously ran the line in Town's victory against Torpedo Moscow, a game refereed by another Frenchman Pascal Gariban.
So far the UEFA referees have been by far the best we have seen this season and Sars will need to keep a firm hand in the cauldron-like atmosphere of the San Siro.
Meanwhile Inter will be without Stephane Dlamat on Thursday, although Ronaldo and Christian Vieri were both involved as Inter won 2-0 against Fiorentina at the weekend.
