Blues defender Tommy Smith missed training on Tuesday and remains a doubt ahead of the second leg of New Zealand s World Cup qualification play-off against Peru in Lima in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Boss Mick McCarthy says new signing Darren Ambrose’s ability was no shock to him but that he was surprised that the 30-year-old was in a position where he needed to join the Blues on trial. Yesterday, the former academy player signed a short-term deal until January.
Mick McCarthy has confirmed that keeper Dean Gerken and centre-half Christophe Berra will make their Town debuts in Tuesday’s Capital One Cup tie at Stevenage. The Town boss will name a much-changed side with left-backs Aaron Cresswell and Tyrone Mings both unavailable.
Skipper Luke Chambers insisted that Town will only get better under manager Mick McCarthy after Saturday’s play-off semi-final defeat to Norwich City at Carrow Road.
