Bree could make Ipswich debut against Sheffield Wednesday

Posted Friday, February 01, 2019 by PA

Ipswich’s new signing James Bree could make his debut for the club in the home game against Sheffield Wednesday.

Right-back Bree, on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season, became Ipswich’s seventh January arrival on deadline day.

Boss Paul Lambert has no new injury concerns, but midfielder Emyr Huws is still out as he works his way back from a long-term knee injury.

It remains to be seen whether Lambert will include Jonas Knudsen in his squad after a move away from the club failed to materialise for the left-back.

Sheffield Wednesday’s deadline-day signings Dominic Iorfa, Lazaar Achraf and Rolando Aarons are all eligible for Steve Bruce’s first game in charge.

Defender Iorfa, a permanent signing from Wolves, plus Newcastle loanees Achraf and Aarons could go straight into Bruce’s squad.

Michael Hector is back in contention after being ineligible to face parent club Chelsea in last week’s FA Cup defeat and Fernando Forestieri (hamstring) is hoping to make his first league appearance since December.

On-loan Tottenham midfielder Josh Onomah (hamstring) is not ready to return, while Matt Penney (shoulder) is out until April.
