Murphy Out But Bishop and McGoldrick on Bench - Ipswich Town News
Blues boss Mick McCarthy says striker Daryl Murphy won’t be involved in Tuesday’s home game against Charlton and is a doubt for the match against Brentford on Saturday, but confirmed that Teddy Bishop and David McGoldrick will be amongst the subs for the Addicks’ visit.
Murphy suffered a calf injury while away with the Republic of Ireland and missed the weekend trip to Wolves.
"Daryl won’t be available for Tuesday’s game and he’s a doubt for Saturday,” McCarthy said.
"Everyone else is OK, everybody from Saturday and Ainsley Maitland-Niles is back in the squad, so they’re all OK.”
McCarthy confirmed that Teddy Bishop, who travelled to Wolves without being in the 18, will be on the bench, alongside David McGoldrick, a late sub at Molineux.
The Town boss says there is no news on when Ryan Fraser might return to Suffolk with the on-loan Bournemouth man undergoing his rehab from his hamstring injury back with his parent club: "No, but he won’t be here for tomorrow or Saturday’s game.”
Meanwhile, asked again whether he had received any contact from Aston Villa he said there had been none.
