Price Returns - Ipswich Town News

Lewis Price will return to Town's starting line-up today with Shane Supple rested after the buffeting he received from Brighton's forwards in the first half on Saturday. Defender Chris Casement has dropped out of the squad due to an ankle injury.

Price will be making his first appearance since the 2-1 derby victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road in February.

Jay McEveley has been recalled to the party travelling to Vicarage Road after initially being left out of the Easter weekend squad. Boss Joe Royle has decided not to take his interest in the Blackburn player any further next season and wanted to give Casement experience in the final few games of 2005/06.

Richard Naylor, who was concussed on Saturday after receiving a blow to the head, is expected to take his place at centre-half.

Joe Royle has already confirmed that he will give Vemund Brekke Skard his full debut in teh centre of the midfield, while Nicky Forster could start having scored after coming off the bench on Saturday.

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