The latest injury and team news before of Ipswich Town’s EFL Championship match against Preston North End at Portman Road.
Team news from Preston North End
Alan Browne and Jordan Storey had both been sick earlier in the week. On Monday, Browne was characterized as being “up all night,” while Storey had a similar difficulty. Both could return this weekend, although special arrangements may be made, such as the two being driven up separately or together and then separated. Both players must first and foremost be ‘ok,’ and may require a day of training to be truly competitive.
Left-back Andrew Hughes was another player who did not play against Leicester City. He experienced a ‘tight calf,’ and the team is awaiting the results of his scan to determine the extent of his ailment. Emil Riis, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January, could return towards the end of October. He has began light training and has practiced alongside his teammates, but he is still at least a few weeks away.
Ched Evans has returned from a ‘serious medical problem’ that required surgery in April. He had a scan on Friday and will meet a specialist on Monday to determine whether he can return after the international break. Calvin Ramsay returned to Liverpool to recover from a knee ailment that had recurred. He has yet to make his competitive debut for Preston, but he is nearing the end of his rehabilitation.
Calvin Ramsay, Ched Evans, and Emil Riis are all out. Alan Browne, Andrew Hughes, and Jordan Storey are all questionable.
