McEveley in Squad - Ipswich Town News

Jay McEveley has been included in a 17-man squad for Saturday's home game with Hull. The loanee from Blackburn comes into the party as cover for Scott Barron who is suffering with a slight hamstring injury.

McEveley is not considered ready for a first team start having played only two reserve matches since undergoing a medial knee ligament operation last November.

The Blues also include Chris Casement who, if Barron misses out, could make his first senior start, having made his debut as a sub at Crystal Palace last weekend.

Squad: Barron, Casement, Currie, De Vos, Garvan, Haynes, Lee, Magilton, McDonald, McEveley, Price, Richards, Sito, Skard, Supple, Westlake, Wilnis.
