McGoldrick Expected Back for Fulham Trip - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy says he expects striker David McGoldrick to be available for Saturday’s trip to Fulham.
McGoldrick missed the 2-1 home victory over Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday having picked up a thigh problem at Rotherham last week.
"I’m hoping he’ll be available for the weekend and then if that’s the case we’ll be back to nearly everybody being right,” McCarthy said.
"There’s only Luke Hyam and he has a long-term injury so he was always going to be a while.
"It’ll be great to have Didz back, you miss your best players and he’s been one of our best players.”
Hyam suffered a medial ligament injury in the FA Cup replay against Southampton and was expected to be sidelined for around six weeks.
McCarthy confirmed that recently signed winger Dylan Connolly, 19, will travel with the senior squad for the first time.
The Blues boss also dismissed this morning’s tabloid claim that he was interested in signing Leeds midfielder Rodolph Austin on loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Asked whether there was any truth in the report, he said: "No, he’s a good player, but no.”
McCarthy says no moves in or out are currently on the cards: "There’s nobody going out on loan. I’ve not had any discussions about that and there’s nobody imminently moving in either.”
