Tuanzebe Returns For Blues at Leeds - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Kieran McKenna has made one change for this afternoon’s top-of-the-table live-on-Sky game against Leeds United at Elland Road with Axel Tuanzebe coming in for Luke Woolfenden.

Tuanzebe joins Cameron Burgess at the heart of the defence for second-placed Town with Woolfenden dropping to the bench, where there is one further change with Dominic Ball coming in and Dane Scarlett left out of the 20.
