Town to Submit Squad to EFL - Ipswich Town News

Town are required to submit their squad for the first half of the 2021/22 season later today.

According to the EFL’s regulations, League One clubs have to supply their squads for the first half of the season 24 hours after the closure of the transfer window before they are officially published in a week’s time.

League One sides are restricted to squads of 22 outfield players aged 21 and over on January 1st this year.

The additions of Bersant Celina and Samy Morsy yesterday took the total of players fitting into that bracket to 24.

That figure includes out-of-favour left-back Myles Kenlock, who seems certain to be left out, assuming no one else suffers an injury prior to the submission.

Kenlock, 24, is the last remaining member of the ‘bomb squad’ still training with the U23s.

Striker Ben Morris, 22, who is in the early stages of his comeback from his second ACL injury, will also be left out and won't be able to feature for the first team. It's expected that if all goes to plan, the frontman will be loaned out in January.

There is no restriction on goalkeepers whatever their age, while all players under-21 - which includes Rekeem Harper, Louie Barry, Idris El Mizouni and Bailey Clements - will be entitled to play.
