McGoldrick and Ambrose Back in Training - Ipswich Town News
Striker David McGoldrick and midfielder Darren Ambrose are back in training ahead of Good Friday’s crucial home game against current Championship leaders AFC Bournemouth.
McGoldrick, a one-time Cherries loanee, has been out of action since the Rotherham game at the beginning of February with a troublesome thigh problem, while Ambrose suffered a hamstring injury in mid-January.
"We have got a few bodies back now,” Blues boss Mick McCarthy told the club site.
"Didz was back out on the training field yesterday and so was Darren Ambrose, so that’s obviously good news, although we have to be careful with them.
"We have a few still out though. Jonny Parr is struggling with a hamstring injury and Kevin Bru pulled up in the Watford game with a sore calf. We will have to see how they are over the next few days.”
Left-back Tyrone Mings is definitely out of the Bournemouth match - which kicks-off at 5.15pm and is live on Sky - and the trip to Huddersfield on Easter Monday as he is suspended for two games having reached 10 bookings.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says he doesn’t expect top scorer Callum Wilson, who was pulled out of the England U21 squad due to injury, to be fit for Friday’s visit to Portman Road.
