Town Squad for Easter - Ipswich Town News

Town have named an 18-man squad for the Easter weekend games with Brighton and Watford. Skipper Jim Magilton is not included in Joe Royle's party.

The Northern Irishman has been suffering with a foot injury in recent weeks.

The Blues are waiting on striker Alan Lee who has a groin injury. Fellow frontman Nicky Forster is back for the first time this year after undergoing a cartilage operation just after Christmas.

Manager Joe Royle has said he intends to give winter Norwegian signing Vemund Brekke Skard a full debut in midfield at some point over the Easter period.

Squad: Barron, Bowditch, Casement, Currie, De Vos, Forster, Garvan, Haynes, Juan, Lee, Naylor, Peters, Price, Richards, Sito, Skard, Supple, Wilnis.
