West Bromwich Albion will travel to Portman Road as they get their Championship season back underway following the latest international break.
The Baggies entered the two-week hiatus with an excellent 4-1 drubbing of Leeds United and Darren Moore will want to see his side to take that momentum with them when they visit the division’s bottom side.
And, it appears The Hawthorns outfit could have some huge news as they make the trip to Suffolk on Friday night.
“Gareth Barry is back in, Chris Brunt is back in. Kyle Bartley is probably the one that we’re still waiting on,” he said.
“He had fluid on his knee. That’s now gone, but with the games coming thick and fast, I’ll leave it if he’s a doubt. He’s making some good progress.
“We want to give him more time to make sure when he comes back he stays back. All the rest should be fine.”
That should also include Dwight Gayle, who made a return in the game against Leeds and also found the back of the net.
The Verdict:
Moore being able to call upon the majority of his squad for the game against the Tractor Boys will be a huge boost for them.
The Baggies will want to get themselves back into automatic promotion contention after they suffered a number of poor results and will look to take advantage against the Championship’s rock-bottom side.
Gayle’s availability will be a welcomed boost, however, Moore could have a selection dilemma after witnessing his side perform impressively against Leeds in their last match.
