Mings, Bru and Tabb Return - Ipswich Town News

Tyrone Mings, Kevin Bru and Jay Tabb return to the Town starting line-up facing Fulham at Craven Cottage with Jonny Parr and Stephen Hunt dropping to the bench, and Darren Ambrose, who picked up a hamstring niggle in the 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, missing out.

Bru looks set to start alongside Cole Skuse in the centre of midfield with Teddy Bishop on the right. Freddie Sears will continue up front with Daryl Murphy.

Dean Gerken is replaced on the bench by Paddy Kenny, the former Colchester man having picked up a hand injury, while David McGoldrick didn’t make the trip having missed the Owls match with a thigh problem.

Dylan Connolly is on the bench for the first time, while Cameron Stewart travelled but missed out on a place in 18. Adam McDonnell, still unavailable as his clearance from FIFA is yet to come through, also made the trip.

Former England international Scott Parker is back in the Fulham starting line-up, alongside ex-Blues loanee Ryan Tunnicliffe.

Fulham: Bettinelli, Richards, Hutchinson, Bodurov, Stafylidis, Christensen, Tunnicliffe, Parker, Kačaniklić, Rodallega, McCormack. Subs: Kiraly, Burn, Grimmer, Fofana, Roberts, Ruiz, Woodrow.

Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Mings, Berra, Smith, Skuse, Bru, Bishop, Tabb, Murphy, Sears. Subs: Kenny, Parr, Clarke, Anderson, S Hunt, Connolly, N Hunt. Referee: Mark Haywood (West Yorkshire).
