Squad for Fulham - Ipswich Town News
George Burley has named his squad for Wednesday's match against Fulham. Burley has described the second half against Manchester City as Town's worst of the season and he will want to put it behind him swiftly.
Burley says of Wednesday's opponents: "Fulham have a number of excellent players, Saha, Hayles and Marlet are all dangerous and will need watching carefully. They play with a four-man defence and a diamond formation midfield, we must compete in all areas if we are to get the three points at Portman Road."
Town will still be without Jim Magilton (hamstring) while Tommy Miller (back) and Thomas Gaardsøe (ankle) are also out. Jermaine Wright is a doubt after missing training yesterday with a groin problem. Back in the squad are Mark Venus and Chris Makin who missed out against Manchester City with a knee injury and an illness respectively.
Squad: Sereni, Marshall, Salmon, Makin, Wilnis, Hreidarsson, Clapham, Venus, McGreal, Bramble, Brown, Holland, Wright, Peralta, Reuser, Miller, Stewart, Bent, Armstrong, Couñago and Le Pen.
