Reserves Line-up - Ipswich Town News

As expected, Guinean international central defender Drissa Diallo is included in the reserves side meeting Leicester at Playford Road this afternoon (KO 2pm).

Diallo, back from his hamstring injury, is joined in possibly the strongest reserve side this season by Pablo Couñago, Dean Bowditch, Matt Richards, Danny Karbassiyoon and Lewis Price.

Also included is recent signing Dean McDonald, although there is no Jimmy Juan. The French loanee has returned to Monaco for treatment on his foot injury.

Leicester will field an largely young side but include Scot Gemmill as well as Richard Stearman who came on as a sub in the Championship game between the two sides on Saturday.

The Town second string will be looking for only their third win of the season.

Reserves side: 1 Lewis Price, 2 Scott Mitchell, 3 Daniel Karbassiyoon,4 Liam Manning, 5 Drissa Diallo, 6 Ben Patten, 7 Daniel Flack, 8 Scott Barron, 9 Pablo Couñago, 10 Dean McDonald, 11 Matt Richards Subs: 12 Adem Atay, 13 Shane Supple, 14 Jerrome Sobers, 15 Liam Craig, 16 Owen Garvan.
