Ipswich forward to miss Bees clash

Ipswich will be without striker Brett Pitman for their trip to Brentford on Saturday.

Pitman has been struggling with a thigh injury he recently picked up in training.

He also missed the East Anglian side’s EFL Cup defeat by Stevenage on Tuesday.

Luke Hyam is also sidelined for the game at Griffin Park but Daryl Murphy will return after being rested for the Stevenage match.

“Brett is still out but we will have everyone else available apart from Luke, who is still getting treatment,” Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy confirmed to the club’s website.

“Conor Grant has got a slight groin injury but he will be okay. Daryl Murphy is back as well. He trained today and will play at Brentford.”
