Team news and more ahead of Town's championship game against Sheffield Wednesday at Portman Road tomorrow.

Town boss Joe Royle is with out striker Nicky Forster, defender Jason De Vos and goalkeeper Lewis Price while he has doubts over the fitness of Sam Parkin and Jim Magilton. Scott Barron has been added to the wafer thin Town squad and Town will have no reserve goalkeeper on the bench.

Former Town defender Drissa Diallo could make his debut for Wednesday along with Graham Coughlan. Burton O'Brien, Steve Adams and Richie Partridge have all proved their fitness for the owls second string in earlier in the week and may come into the frame. David Graham will start up front for the Owls with either Lee Peacock or Adam Proudlock.

Owls manager Paul Sturrock: “Magilton and Horlock can run the show and they've got flying full-backs who get forward and like to cross the ball. They are always in the top six and I don't expect it to be any different this year. We have to be in their faces.”

Town Squad: Barron, Bowditch, Collins, Currie, Garvan, Horlock, Juan, Magilton, McDonald, Naylor, Parkin, Peters, Richards, Sito, Supple, Westlake, Wilnis.
