Skuse Back in Training and Expected to Be Fit for Hull Trip - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Cole Skuse is back in training and is expected to be fit for Saturday’s trip to Hull City.
Skuse, 31, was substituted in the first half of the 3-0 home victory over Preston North End prior to the international break.
""Skusey suffered a badly bruised shin and didn’t train last week but he is back out there now and should be in contention for the weekend,” Town physio Matt Byard told the club site.
Midfielder Emyr Huws, 24, is also likely to be with the squad which travels to the KCOM Stadium after playing three U23s matches having recovered from the achilles injury which has prevented him from making a senior appearance so far this season.
Teddy Bishop, 21, played and scored in last Friday’s 2-2 U23s draw at Millwall having undergone groin surgery in August but is probably still a little way off a return to the first-team squad."
