Ipswich Town will make late fitness tests on three players for tonight’s League One encounter at Bristol Rovers with Massimo Luongo, George Edmundson and Nathan Broadhead doubts for the clash at the Mem.
Midfielder Luongo, who signed last month from Middlesbrough, and defender Edmundson, a regular starter all season, missed Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday while January’s marquee signing Broadhead, a £1.5million addition from Everton, departed in the 80th minute with cramp. Midfielder Lee Evans is definitely out of the game due to a knee injury.
Ipswich have experienced a busy schedule with four games in their last 11 days; in contrast, Rovers have played two matches in the same timeframe. Both teams are out of form with Ipswich having won just one of their last five league games, and the Gas on a run of four straight defeats.
