Balkestein Set to Start Against Saints Tuesday, 3rd Mar 2009 09:13
Dutchman Pim Balkestein looks set to return to the Town starting line-up this evening when the Blues take on Southampton at Portman Road (KO 7.45pm). Full-back Moritz Volz has joined Danny Haynes and Ben Thatcher on the sidelines, but Iván Campo is back in the squad.
Volz limped off at Preston on Saturday with a recurrence of his groin injury and was replaced at right-back by Alex Bruce, with Balkestein coming off the bench to join Gareth McAuley at centre-half.
Boss Jim Magilton seems likely to start with the former Heerenveen youngster alongside skipper McAuley with Bruce at right-back and David Wright on the left.
