Magilton Injured - Ipswich Town News
Town midfielder Jim Magilton is a big doubt for Saturday's crucial clash with Bolton at the Reebok Stadium. He will have a scan on the groin injury which has kept him out on several occasions this season. Worryingly also out with a similar injury is his usual deputy Jermaine Wright. If neither are fit for Saturday then Town could look to Mickey Stockwell to play in the midfield alongside Matt Holland, who should be fit after his foot injury, and James Scowcroft with Gary Croft or Fabian Wilnis coming in at right wing back.
Other possible replacements include Town's forgotten man Marco Holster or even Adam Tanner, a man completely frozen out at Portman Road since his knee injury.
The reserves play Fulham reserves at Craven Cottage today. George Burley will be watching to see how trialist Soren Frederiksen gets on. The Danish striker would cost £700,000 if Town decide to buy him.
