Wigan boss Paul Jewell says that Mike Pollitt s loan move to Town does not mean his Wigan career is over. The Latics have allowed the 34-year-old to move to Portman Road for a month but have a 24-hour recall should they require him to return to the JJB.
Town have signed Wigan keeper Mike Pollitt on a month s loan as cover for the injured Lewis Price and Shane Supple. Price has a broken rib, while Supple suffered a groin strain against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend and is a doubt for Sunday s East Anglian derby.
Keeper Shane Supple and striker Danny Haynes are both expected to be fit for Sunday s East Anglian derby at home to Norwich City (KO 11.30am, Sky Sports One). Derby goal specialist Haynes picked up a hip injury against Sheffield Wednesday, while Supple has a groin strain.
Boss Mick McCarthy has confirmed that recalled loan striker Paul Taylor will be in his squad for Friday’s live Sky game against Barnsley at Portman Road. The Town manager again remained coy when asked about the speculation linking him with the Ireland job.
Keeper Lewis Price will miss at least the next three games after a scan revealed that his clash with Southend s Matt Harrold on Saturday had fractured a rib. The Wales international was replaced after seven minutes of Saturday s 3-1 win at Roots Hall.
