No Douglas Red Card Appeal - Ipswich Town News

Town have confirmed that they won't be lodging an appeal against Jonathan Douglas's red card at Birmingham on Saturday.

The 34-year-old, who was dismissed in first-half injury time for a high challenge on Midlanders' winger Will Buckley, now faces a three-match ban.

Luke Hyam looks set to take the summer signing from Brentford's place in the centre of midfield when Reading visit Portman Road a week tomorrow.

Douglas will also miss the away games at QPR on Saturday 6th February and Bristol City a week later.
