Popovic Back for Eagles - Ipswich Town News
Crystal Palace boss Steve Kember is hoping that Australian centre-half Tony Popovic will be back from an achilles tendon injury to line-up against Town at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.
However, teenage midfielder Ben Watson is likely to be missing from the Palace midfield with an infected ingrowing toenail.
Right-back Jamie Smith is over a groin injury and returns to the Eagles' squad.
Tuesday's referee is Lee Cable from Surrey who officiated in the Blues' 2-1 win against Walsall earlier this season. Cable has shown 49 yellow and three red cards in 12 matches.
