Town full-back Harry Clarke missed today’s friendly against Charlton at Colchester having picked up a leg injury in training, while a number of other players were rested, including Wrexham target Nathan Broadhead.

The 24-year-old is set to undergo a scan but there are concerns the former Arsenal academy player is facing a while on the sidelines, which would be a further blow after his loan spell at Sheffield United was cut short last season due to a plantaris injury which required surgery.

Meanwhile, Jacob Greaves missed out due to illness and Alex Palmer and Azor Matusiwa were rested.

We understand Broadhead was rested due to the Wrexham interest, reported earlier.

The Welsh side have made an approach for the former Everton man but with the cash on offer below the £7 million claimed. Town are not actively looking to sell, but a significant fee could persuade them with Jack Clarke and Jaden Philogene playing similar roles to Broadhead.

bayleycr added 22:59 - Jul 29 Got to feel for Harry Clarke With Ashley Young and Ben Johnson he might have been 3rd choice I guess, and with O'Shea able to cover RB then don't see the need to recruit for RB

Linkboy13 added 09:39 - Jul 30 Great guy Harry would luv to see him succeed at Ipswich but injuries are dogging him at the moment. To me he's never really looked comfortable at fullback his positional sense at times is quite poor looks more of a centre half to me.

muhrensleftfoot added 12:04 - Jul 30 Pity about Harry. With a decent injury free period, he still has the potential to be a top player for us & of course he's "one of our own" which is always nice to see. Unfortunately he does seem to be injury prone.
