New Keeper Cornell Starts at Spurs - Ipswich Town News

New keeper David Cornell makes his first appearance in a Town shirt as the Blues face Tottenham in this afternoon’s pre-season friendly at the North Londoners’ new stadium (KO 3pm).

Cornell, who joined Town on Monday, missed out at Colchester on Tuesday having been short on training having left Northampton at the end of the season.

Another new signing, Stephen Ward, skippers at left-back, as he did in the first game at Colchester, with ex-Tottenham youngster Kane Vincent-Young at right-back and Luke Woolfenden and Toto Nsiala the centre-halves.

Cole Skuse, Teddy Bishop and Alan Judge are the midfield three with Aaron Drinan, who scored twice in the 4-0 victory in the first game against the U’s on Tuesday, the central striker with Gwion Edwards again set to be on the left and Armando Dobra on the right.

Back on the bench having missed out at Colchester are Tomas Holy and Jon Nolan, who had been suffering with shoulder and calf injuries respectively.

James Norwood, who is continuing his rehabilitation programme following his groin operation in February, James Wilson, who has a calf problem, and Emyr Huws travelled but aren’t involved.

New striker Oli Hawkins, who had been training on his own until joining the Blues on Monday, is again not involved.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho names a strong side skippered by keeper Hugo Loris and also featuring Harry Winks, Ben Davies, Dele Alli, Heung-Min Son, Lucas Moura, Ryan Sessegnon, Toby Alderweireld and new signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Spurs, who look set to switch their XI at half-time, name ex-England keeper Joe Hart and former Blues loanee Cameron Carter-Vickers on the bench.

There's no Harry Kane as he is self-isolating having been on holiday in the Bahamas.
