Garvan Late Concern - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Owen Garvan has emerged as a late injury concern ahead of today's home game with Leicester City. The Irishman hurt his hip in training on Friday and will undergo a fitness test before a decision is made on whether he plays against the Foxes.

Town are confident the 18-year-old will be OK to line-up alongside an Westlake in the centre of the midfield but if he fails to make it, Jim Magilton is likely to take his place.
