Town have three players in international action this weekend. Matt Holland is in the Irish starting line-up for this evening s play-off with Iran (KO 6pm) while Amir Karic and Pablo Counago are also away with their nations.
Boss Roy Keane has denied a report claiming that he has had a bust-up with skipper Gareth McAuley. One of this morning s tabloids claimed that the Town manager was ready to sell the Northern Ireland international in the wake of the alleged row.
Excellent news going into tonight s match against West Ham is that Owen Garvan has put an end to the speculation linking him away from Portman Road by signing a new three-year contract.
Reports this morning say Finidi George will be in town today for a look around and to continue talking terms. It seems everything is sorted between the clubs with the fee quoted as £3 million, £3.5 million and in the Spanish media, which originally broke the story, £3.7 million.
