Outcast Quartet in Squad at Bury - Ipswich Town News
Outcast quartet Teddy Bishop, Kayden Jackson, Myles Kenlock and Brett McGavin are in a largely young squad facing Bury Town in a friendly at the Denny Bros Stadium this evening (KO 7.30pm).
The four are among the senior players who have been training with the U23s since the start of pre-season training - along with the AFC Bournemouth-linked Flynn Downes who is not listed as being involved this evening - with manager Paul Cook having told them they can move on.
Most of the rest of the squad will be the youngsters, many of them U18s, who played the second half of Saturday's 1-0 win at Dartford. Today’s scheduled U18s friendly against Southend has been postponed.
None of the seniors who played the first 45 minutes against the Darts will be in the squad which travels to West Suffolk, although manager Cook will be the man in the dugout.
Town’s early pre-season has been hit by Covid with one U23s player having tested positive and nine others in self-isolation after sharing a dressing room with him.
