Mings and Hyam Return for Charlton Clash - Ipswich Town News
Tyrone Mings and Luke Hyam are both fit and available for Tuesday evening’s home game against Charlton (KO 7.45pm). Mings is over the infected toe which has seen him miss the last two matches, while Hyam has been out for a month with an achilles problem.
"Tyrone’s fit, they’re all fit, Luke Hyam as well. They all trained today, it’s been great,” manager Mick McCarthy said.
The Blues boss says Mings won’t necessarily walk straight back into his team with Jonny Parr having impressed in his absence.
"No, nobody does, not at all,” McCarthy added. "It’s a nice problem to have that.”
The Blues manager is pleased to have Hyam back: "Luke has been out since the Charlton game a month ago, but he’s a fit guy.
"It’s taken him a while that achilles, it’s been a really niggly one, but it’s good to have him back.”
Hyam similarly faces a battle to get into the side with Cole Skuse and Teddy Bishop having combined well in the centre of midfield in his absence.
"It’s difficult to get into the team,” McCarthy continued "We’ve got Dean Gerken who is sat on the sidelines who has been outstanding for us.
"He knows he can’t get back in because Bart has been equally outstanding having got into the team. That’s a good problem to have.”
