U23s Face Blades - Ipswich Town News

Luke Hyam and Tom Adeyemi are expected to play for Town’s U23s against Sheffield United at Portman Road this evening (KO 7pm).

Hyam, 25, is continuing his comeback after a knee injury and will be playing his third U23s match, while Adeyemi would be making his first appearance in a Town shirt if he is involved.

The 25-year-old, who signed on a free transfer following his release by Cardiff at the end of last season, missed the whole of pre-season and then first month of the campaign proper having initially been ill before picking up a calf injury.

Loanee winger Bersant Celina, 20, may also be involved this evening having also been hampered by illness in the opening weeks of the season.
