Diallo Back in Squad - Ipswich Town News
Defender Drissa Diallo is included in the Town squad travelling to face Leeds on Saturday. It is the first time the Guinean international has been back in contention for a first team place since injuring his hamstring prior to Christmas.
Boss Joe Royle says Diallo has proved his fitness in the reserves: "He's come through two reserve games against Charlton and Chelsea successfully, so he'll be in contention for the Leeds game.
"He's been missing for a very long time and he's itching to get back playing again and it'll be a big boost to have him available."
Squad: Davis, Price, Wilnis, Unsworth, Richards, De Vos, Naylor, Diallo, Magilton, Miller, Westlake, Currie, Horlock, Bent, Kuqi, Couñago, Scowcroft.
