Ipswich boss Lambert could stick with line-up following recent success

Posted Friday, January 24, 2020 by PA

Ipswich manager Paul Lambert could stick with the side that has performed well in recent weeks against Lincoln at Portman Road on Saturday.

Lambert has named a similar side for his last four league matches and could be set to continue, with the Tractor Boys unbeaten in League One since December.

Jack Lankester continues to recover from a back problem and could return before the end of the season, while Ben Morris is closing in on fitness following an ACL injury.

Tristan Nydam remains sidelined after suffering a broken ankle and ligament damage in the summer and has yet to feature this season, but could also come back in time for the end of the season.

Lincoln manager Michael Appleton could have captain Lee Frecklington back for his side’s trip to East Anglia.

Appleton said the midfielder has trained for almost a week following a groin problem and will be assessed on Friday ahead of the clash.

Michael Bostwick is set to remain unavailable with a back injury.

Otherwise the Lincoln manager has no fresh injury concerns, and has already added a number of signings to his squad during the January transfer window, including Tyreece John-Jules, Max Melbourne and Tayo Edun.
