Injuries Force Town Changes at Plymouth - Ipswich Town News

Boss Paul Cook says the Blues will be forced into changes at Plymouth on Saturday due to injuries.

Town travelled to Devon yesterday ahead of the match with Cook giving his pre-match press conference from the hotel.

The Blues manager says all teams will be suffering with knocks and suspensions by this point in the season and Town more than most.

"I think for every team now, I’ve spoken to [Wigan boss and his former assistant] Leam Richardson a few times this week and they’ve had three games this week and I think injuries and suspensions are just starting to catch up with a few squads and come into play.

"I think by the time our teamsheet goes out tomorrow, we’re no different than a lot of teams, in fact we’ve probably got a lot more injuries than everyone else.

"But the reality is we’ve got a very, very strong squad and I think the importance of having a strong squad is that hopefully, as we come into these winter months now, we can reap the benefits of that.”

Cook confirmed that there will be changes to his side but while giving nothing away on the identities of those who will miss out at Home Park.

"Yes, unfortunately there will be,” he said. "And that’s due to injury rather than anything else.”
