JET Missing Due to Illness - Ipswich Town News

Transfer-listed midfielder Jay Emmanuel-Thomas was missing from this morning’s first day of pre-season press call as he had gone home feeling unwell. The former Arsenal man is expected to return to Playford Road later in the week.

The 22-year-old, who along with Michael Chopra was told he could find a new club at the end of last season, was a notable absentee from this morning’s session, along with skipper Carlos Edwards, who is with the Trinidad and Tobago squad ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the USA.
