Morsy and Armin Make Debuts as Cook Makes 10 Changes - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Paul Cook has made 10 changes for this evening’s Papa John’s Trophy tie against West Ham’s U21s at Portman Road with Sam Morsy skippering on his debut and young centre-half Albie Armin handed his senior bow.

Tomas Holy is in goal with Kane Vincent-Young - the only player to have started Saturday’s 5-2 drubbing by Bolton Wanderers - at right-back and Matt Penney on the left.

Luke Woolfenden and Armin are the centre-halves with Morsy and Tom Carroll - making his first Town start - in the middle of midfield.

Idris El Mizouni makes his second start of the season on one flank with Louis Barry set for the other with James Norwood and Kayden Jackson starting in what looks like a front two.

Jon Nolan is among the subs for the first time this season, while youngsters Cameron Humphreys, Zanda Siziba and Elkan Baggott are also on the bench.

Town: Holy, Vincent-Young, Woolfenden, Armin, Penney, Morsy (c), Carroll, Jackson, El Mizouni, Barry, Norwood. Subs: Hladky, Baggott, Humphreys, Nolan, Siziba, Chaplin, Pigott.

West Ham U21: Hegyi, Okoflex, Alese (c), Ekwah, Ashby, Chesters, Laing, Longelo, Swyer, Appiah-Forson, Baptiste. Subs: Kinnear, Dju, Rosa, Diallo, Perkins, Forbes, Casey. Referee: Charles Breakspear (Surrey).
