Horlock Back in Training - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Kevin Horlock was back in training today and is confident he'll be fit to face Preston at Deepdale on Friday. The former Manchester City man injured his shoulder after coming on as a sub in the 2-1 against Leicester City.

Horlock told the club site: "I didn't expect to be back in training until Thursday but the shoulder is improving all the time.

"It was very sore over the weekend and it didn't look great, but it has picked up quickly over the last 24 hours and I should be fine for the Preston game."

Manager Joe Royle has hinted that Horlock could come into the starting line-up against the league's form side.
