Midfielder Kevin Bru has been ruled out of Saturday’s game at Charlton and the home match against Leeds United the following week. Central defender Christophe Berra is suspended for the game at the Valley, but better news is that Stephen Hunt is fit after a hamstring problem and manager Mick McCarthy is “confident” that left-back Tyrone Mings will also be OK.
Ireland defender Sean St Ledger has signed a short-term one-month deal with the Blues. The 29-year-old joined Town on trial earlier in the week and featured for the U21s in Monday’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
New short-term signing Sean St Ledger says he’s aiming to win a longer stay at Portman Road having put pen to paper on a one-month deal this morning. The 29-year-old was a free agent having left Leicester at the end of last season.
Town manager Mick McCarthy says he asked about new short-term signing Sean St Ledger’s availability on a couple of occasions last season. The 29-year-old free agent agreed to join the Blues on a one-month deal this morning, having also come close to signing on loan in 2012 during Paul Jewell’s time in charge at Portman Road.
TWTD understands that Leeds striker or winger Noel Hunt is expected at Town on Thursday morning to complete the formalities on a loan deal through to January, the clubs having agreed terms. The switch is with a view to a permanent move.
