Wright Only Blues Worry - Ipswich Town News

Town manager Joe Royle's only fitness worry ahead of the weekend is Jermaine Wright who has a stomach upset. The midfielder was set to play in this afternoon's reserve game but missed out due to the bout of illness.

Georges Santos missed out with a tight hamstring earlier in the week but he was back in training today.

John McGreal came through today's game seemingly unscathed after his knee ligament injury and is not too far off a first team return.

Matt Bloomfield has an ankle problem and won't be in action for a few weeks yet. Bloomfield was only just over a knee ligament injury when he picked up this latest knock.
