McDonald Back in Squad - Ipswich Town News

Dean McDonald is in the Town squad for the Boxing Day match at home to Crystal Palace after returning from his loan spell at Hartlepool earlier this week. There is no place in the 18-man party for Kevin Horlock, although the midfielder is expected to be involved at some point over Christmas.

Town feel the former West Ham man might need a week's training after his recent knee injury before he can be considered for first team action. Canadian international Jaime Peters takes his place.

Squad: Bowditch, Currie, De Vos, Forster, Garvan, Haynes, Juan, Magilton, McDonald, Naylor, Peters, Price, Richards, Sito, Supple, Westlake, Williams, Wilnis.
