Town boss Joe Royle says that Wolverhampton Wanderers wanted to extend Andy Marshall's stay at Molineux until the end of the season. The keeper returned to Portman Road this week after a two-month loan period with Dave Jones' club.

Royle said: "Wolves have discussed keeping Andy until the end of the season, but he wants to be available if another club comes in.

"I can understand that, and Andy will start training with us again."

Despite returning to Town Marshall will not be involved in the squad for the FA Cup game with Derby on Saturday.
