Burns and Ogbene Left Out of 25-Man Squad Friday, 7th Feb 2025 19:54 The Premier League has published clubs’ 25-man squads for the second half of the season following the transfer window’s closure on Monday.
The Blues have named 24 players in their 25-man squad with both Wes Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene omitted with the pair set to miss the remainder of the season with ACL and achilles injuries respectively.
In addition to Burns and Ogbene, Harry Clarke and Ali Al-Hamadi, who have moved out on loan, are absent from the squad named in September.
New signings Ben Godfrey, Jaden Philogene and Alex Palmer are added, but Julio Enciso, who recently turned 21, is too young to be included and is named on the U21 list, as is left-back Somto Boniface, who joined John McGreal’s development squad from Chelsea during the window.
The 25th space in the senior squad could be used should the club sign an out-of-contract player aged over 21 between now and the end of the season.

Probably won't see Burns in a Town shirt again, hopefully he gets fully fit to get a move! Served us well. |  | |

Could there be an out of contract player, from somewhere in the world, yet to come in? Or did we just leave it as late as possible to bring in the striker during the window? |  | |

Get a grip Leejames99. Wes has been such a great player for us, given his all, and was turning out fine in the Prem....and you come out with that rubbish. Just wish the lad well and fingers crossed he will prove you and other muppets wrong...again....in an ITFC shirt in whichever league we are in. |  | |

@portmanterrorist I dont rate him in Prem and if he was good enough for Prem a Prem club would of signed him, and you are right that he has been good before obviously bit that's past |  | |

If that's what you think of burns Lee James, then I'd love to know what you would have thought of Finisi George in the second half of 01/02 hahahaha |  | |
Leejames99 added 00:33 - Feb 8
@juggsy No your right Burns and Morsy have been excellent in the Prem and a league 1 players should be keeping experienced prem and international players out of the team, your right, its all Muric fault, everything! No need be rude Juggsy are you one of those fans who squeezes into a size small Town Shirt with nickname on back? |  | |

Sad to see Wes and Chie out. Was hoping perhaps ww might see the latter in May, but that would have been asking an awful lot . Let's make the most of these last few games: enjoy the ups but prepare for a down... |  | |

Nice to find out the names of the first and second year scholars as club no longer seems to make this public. |  | |
mariner added 09:07 - Feb 8
So possibly the three best players all from the U21-group - Delap certainly, Omari when at his best and hopefully Enciso shows his talent the remainder of the season to keep us up. COYB |  | |

@LeeJames99 I’m not being rude, you really do spout some verbal diarrhoea on here. Like certain other people that can’t think before typing random thoughts. Not sure what your small Ipswich shirt with my name on the back implies other than you didn’t think before typing that either. |  | |

Sad for Obgene he was then starting to show he would have been some player this season, |  | |

sticking to the facts which many on gere just can't do it is true that this current squad is showing it isn't string enough to remain in the prem. Muric has lost us points but so has Morsy. Hutchinson has contributed very little. Burns has contributed even less. Burns also contributed little in the champ season compared to Chappers and Hutchinson. When we are relegated the owners will demand an improvement from McKenna and player recruitment will need to improve if we are to make a swift return to the Prem. |  | |
