Proudlock Unavailable - Ipswich Town News

Striker Adam Proudlock is unavailable for Saturday's trip to Sheffield Wednesday due to the terms of his loan from the Owls. Town's lack of striking resources could see Richard Naylor start up front at Hillsborough.

Boss Joe Royle told the club site: "We will have to think seriously about playing him up front at Sheffield.

"We need some physical presence up there with Sam Parkin out and Adam Proudlock unable to play at Hillsborough because of the terms of his agreement over his loan."

Dean Bowditch is a doubt for the trip to South Yorkshire due to his achilles injury, while Billy Clarke and Danny Haynes will hope to come into the Town manager's plans once again.

The Blues may also have Dean McDonald back after his one-month loan at Hartlepool. Manager Martin Scott is keen to keep McDonald in the North-East but with numbers short at Portman Road, the former Arsenal trainee could be recalled.
