Squad for Derby Game - Ipswich Town News

Town have named a 17-man squad for Saturday's final home game of the season against Derby County. Skipper Jim Magilton is included, but there is no place for Ian Westlake, who returned to training this week after his recent ankle injury.

Alan Lee (pulled hamstring) and Chris Casement (ankle) are both ruled out, while there is also no place for Aidan Collins who was recalled from Stockport yesterday as cover for the Northern Ireland U19 international.

Derby have a striker crisis with Paul Peshisolido joining their injured list with a number of niggles. The Rams are already without on-loan striker Kevin Lisbie, anti-hero of the East Anglian derby at Portman Road earlier in the season, due to a persistent hamstring problem and another loanee, Spurs' Mounir El Hamdaoui, has a groin injury.

Darren Moore is suspended and fellow veteran defender Alan Wright has been ruled out for the remainder of 2005/06 due to a hamstring problem, while Paul Boetien has a calf injury.

There will be a minute's silence prior to tomorrow's game in memory of former Town manager John Lyall who died earlier in the week.

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