Ipswichvs.Leicester

sportsmole.co.uk, 31 October 2024, 15:52
Ipswich Town could be without as many as 10 players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leicester City at Portman Road.

Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles) was forced off on a stretcher in the 4-3 defeat at Brentford last weekend and has joined Sam Morsy, Jacob Greaves (both hamstring), Axel Tuanzebe (hand), Ben Johnson, Jack Taylor (both muscle), Massimo Luongo and Janoi Donacien (both ankle) in a packed treatment room.

Omari Hutchinson missed the loss at Brentford through illness and will be assessed ahead of kickoff, while Harry Clarke, who became just the second player in Premier League history to score an own goal, concede a penalty and get sent off in the same game last weekend, is suspended for the clash with Leicester.

With Clarke, Johnson and Tuanzebe all sidelined, Ipswich are light in the right-back department and Kieran McKenna may decide to hand Dara O'Shea a start on the right side of a four-man defence, with Luke Woolfenden recalled to partner Cameron Burgess at centre-back.

Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste are both set to continue in centre-midfield, while either Jack Clarke or Wes Burns could start on the right flank in the absence of Ogbene.

George Hirst scored his first Premier League goal last weekend, but he could be replaced in the starting lineup by Liam Delap, who has five top-flight goals to his name this term, while Sammie Szmodics and Conor Chaplin will be hoping to retain their attacking positions in the first XI.

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Muric; O'Shea, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Phillips, Cajuste; Burns, Chaplin, Szmodics; Delap
