Charlton Game Postponed Due to International Calls - Ipswich Town News
Town’s home game against Charlton Athletic on Saturday 10th October has been postponed due to international call-ups.
The Addicks have had three players called up for international duty, allowing them to call the game off if they wish to do so.
Former Blues loanee Jonny Williams and on-loan Manchester United midfielder Dylan Levitt are in the Wales squad with at least one other player - Northern Ireland Conor Washington appears likely - having been called up to a squad not yet announced.
The match will now be played on Tuesday 22nd December (KO 7.45pm) unless both sides are knocked out of the FA Cup in the first round, in which case it will take place on Saturday 28th November (KO 3pm), or the two clubs both exit the EFL Trophy at the group phase, allowing the fixture to be staged on Tuesday 8th December (KO 7.45pm).
So far Town have only had third-choice keeper Adam Przybek called up by the Wales U21s ahead of the October international fixtures, but are likely to have one or two other players included in squads.
