Luongo and Harness Return For Town Clash With Leicester

Massimo Luongo is back in action as Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna makes two changes in preparation for the game against league leaders Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Jack Taylor will start this match on the bench, while Marcus Harness replaces Nathan Broadhead. Luongo missed the previous game against Sunderland due to an ankle injury.

The rest of the squad remains unchanged, featuring the same lineup from their recent victory against Sunderland, except for the replacements mentioned earlier. Unfortunately, Sam Morsy, the team’s skipper, will be absent serving his two-match ban.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who was doubtful for the game, will make an appearance for Leicester City despite a knock he received in their previous match against Coventry. Cesare Casadei, recalled by Chelsea, and Abdul Fatawu, suspended due to a red card in the Coventry game, have been replaced by Hamza Choudhury and Kasey McAteer. Notably, Jamie Vardy returns and will be present on the bench.

Ipswich Town starting XI: Hladky, Clarke, Woolfenden, Edmundson, Davis, Travis, Luongo, Burns, Chaplin (c), Harness, Jackson. Substitutes: Walton, Tuanzebe, Ball, Humphreys, Taylor, Hutchinson, Sarmiento, Aluko, Broadhead.

Leicester City starting XI: Hermansen, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin, Choudhury, Winks, Ricardo (c), Dewsbury-Hall, McAteer, Mavididi, Cannon. Substitutes: Stolarczyk, Coady, Doyle, Vardy, Albrighton, Praet, Akgun, Marcal, Nelson.

Referee: Josh Smith from Bedfordshire.
