Rotherham duo Kyle Vassell and Matt Crooks could return for Ipswich clash

Posted Tuesday, January 28, 2020 by PA

Rotherham duo Kyle Vassell and Matt Crooks could both return for the Millers’ top-of-the-table clash with Ipswich on Tuesday night.

Vassell missed his side’s defeat at Peterborough due to a calf injury while Crooks was left out for personal reasons following the death of his close friend Jordan Sinnott.

Their returns will give boss Paul Warne the chance to shuffle his starting line-up after Saturday’s loss which saw his side relinquish top spot to the Tractor Boys.

The Millers are still without long-term absentees Billy Jones (hamstring) and Clark Robertson (groin).

Ipswich boss Paul Lambert could name another unchanged side after returning to the summit with a 1-0 win over Lincoln.

Ben Morris is closer to returning to fitness following an anterior cruciate ligament injury, but Jack Lankester is still ruled out with a back problem.

Tristan Nydam remains another longer-term absentee after suffering a broken ankle and ligament damage in the summer.

Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski completed his permanent switch to Millwall this week after spending the last six months on loan at the New Den.
