Huws, Bishop and Rowe Return to Action in U23s Friendly - Ipswich Town News

Emyr Huws, Teddy Bishop and Danny Rowe were all in match action for the first time since suffering injuries which ended their 2017/18 seasons in an U23s behind-closed-doors friendly against Cambridge United at Playford Road this afternoon.

Huws, who played the first half, had been out of action since December when he suffered a knee injury which required surgery, while Bishop, who featured for an hour, injured a hamstring last October.

Rowe’s loan spell at Lincoln at the end of last season was prematurely ended by an ankle problem which required surgery. The former Macclesfield winger also played the first 60 minutes.

Despite their involvement this afternoon, the trio are still likely to be some way off first team involvement given their lengthy absences.

Good to be back out there and get a couple goals ⚽️💙 https://t.co/v8WYl5OUBg

"It’s good to see them out on the grass but it’s just the first step. They are a long way of being fit for first team contention,” boss Paul Hurst told the club site.

Also among those in action against the U’s were Andre Dozzell, Dean Gerken, Tristan Nydam, Myles Kenlock, Jordan Roberts and Josh Emmanuel.

Town U23s: Gerken, Emmanuel, Cotter, Ndaba, Kenlock, Bishop, Dozzell, Nydam, Huws, Rowe, Roberts.
