Aluko Back With Blues Ahead of Crewe Clash - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Paul Cook has confirmed winger Sone Aluko is back with the squad ahead of Sunday’s home game with bottom club Crewe Alexandra.

The 32-year-old missed Tuesday’s 2-0 home defeat by Rotherham following the death of his father.

"Sone with be with us this weekend, he’s back in work this morning, 100 hundred per cent,” Cook said. "No more questions on the team guys. Sone is a one-off!”

Aluko’s absence was a particular blow with Wes Burns currently out with a hamstring injury, forcing Cook into moving Bersant Celina to the wide right role.

Town’s other first-team injury absentee of late has been left-back Hayden Coulson, who again wasn’t included in the 18 on Tuesday having suffered a knock at Wycombe early in the month.
