Webster Returns as U23s Face Forest - Ipswich Town News
Central defender Adam Webster returns to action after recovering from his ankle injury this evening as the U23s take on Nottingham Forest at Alfreton Town’s Impact Arena (KO 7pm).
The 22-year-old suffered the injury in the Carabao Cup tie at Luton, his only start so far this season.
Also involved against Forest will be midfielders Tristan Nydam and Danny Rowe, as well as Australian striker Ben Folami, who has already scored four U23s goals this season.
Gerard Nash’s team have won four of their first five games this season, including the last three. They are third in the Professional Development League Two South and will go top if they win this evening.
Speaking on Friday, manager Mick McCarthy said he was pleased that the youngsters had continued the good form they showed during the Carabao Cup tie at Crystal Palace.
