Reuser Fails to Make It - Ipswich Town News
Martijn Reuser will not be playing in Thursday night's UEFA Cup clash with Inter at the San Siro. The Dutchman is still struggling with a back injury sustained in the home leg of the UEFA Cup tie.
George Burley said: "We have had to rule Martijn out, he has not been able to join in training and is still suffering."
Town fly out to Milan this lunchtime with a number of other injured players on the flight. Chris Makin, Richard Naylor and Alun Armstrong are all doubts, but they travel. Marcus Bent (ineligible) and the injured Marcus Stewart are also both travelling with the squad.
