Town Confirm 25-Man Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town have confirmed their 25-man Championship squad.

Championship sides are limited to 25 players born prior to 1st January 2004 following the closure of the transfer window last Monday.

Players younger than that, which includes recent signing Sindre Walle Egeli, are not required to be named but are automatically eligible. All loanees need to be included but in Town’s case all would qualify in any case.

As expected, left-back Conor Townsend is omitted as he is out for the season having suffered an ACL injury in pre-season.

Squad: Chuba Akpom, Ivan Azon, Elkan Baggott, Wes Burns, David Button, Jens Cajuste, Harry Clarke, Jack Clarke, Leif Davis, Darnell Furlong, Jacob Greaves, George Hirst, Cameron Humphreys, Ben Johnson, Cedric Kipre, Azor Matusiwa, Kasey McAteer, Marcelino Nunez, Dara O’Shea, Alex Palmer, Jaden Philogene, Sam Szmodics, Jack Taylor, Christian Walton, Ashley Young.
