Humphreys, Harness and Ladapo Start - Ipswich Town News

Cameron Humphreys, Marcus Harness and Freddie Ladapo come into the team for this afternoon’s home game against Cheltenham.

Kieran McKenna has made three changes from the team which drew 4-4 at Charlton in the Blues’ last League One game a fortnight ago with Dominic Ball and Tyreece John-Jules dropping out of the 18 and Kayden Jackson on the bench.

John-Jules missed the FA Cup tie at Bracknell on Monday with a knock, Ball also appears to be among those McKenna said yesterday was suffering from either injury or illness.

Humphreys joins skipper Sam Morsy in the centre of midfield with Harness alongside Conor Chaplin as one of the number 10s behind lone central striker Ladapo, while Panutche Camara is among the subs.

Cheltenham make four changes with Charlie Raglan, Elliott Bonds, Daniel Nlundulu and Christian Norton in for Daniel Adshead and George Lloyd, who are on the bench, and Caleb Taylor and Ryan Jackson, who are injured.

Town: Walton, Donacien, Woolfenden, Edmundson, Burns, Humphreys, Morsy (c), Davis, Chaplin, Harness, Ladapo. Subs: Hladky, Burgess, Keogh, Vincent-Young, Camara, Edwards, Jackson.

Cheltenham: Southwood, Long (c), Williams, Raglan, Freestone, Sercombe, Nlundulu, Bonds, Norton, Broom, Olayinka. Subs: MacDonald, Bradbury, Brown, Chapman, Adshead, Hutchinson, Lloyd. Referee: Geoff Eltringham (County Durham).
