Forwards jinx strikes again as Fuller is ruled out!

Former Wolves man Proudlock comes into the squad
With Alan Lee, Danny Haynes, Sam Parkin, Nicky Forster and Dean Bowditch all unavailable, Joe Royle moved swiftly to bring in Jamaican international Riacardo Fuller on a months loan from the South Coast.

However, having initially been cleared to play at Molineux and travelling on the team bus, the Football League then contacted the club to advise them that Ricardo would not be able to play against Wolves, as his work permit only extents playing for Southampton.

If Ipswich are to get Fuller playing for them then they will have to submit an apllication for a work permit and there is nothing to suggest that it would necessairly be granted for such a short term deal.

Royle has already drafted former Wolves player Adam Proudlock (who has been hirtherto suffering from flu) into his squad and with Dean McDonald the only other recognised striker, he has a good chance of starting the game.

In other injury news ahead of the match, Jimmy Juan has not trained this week with a heel injury but will play, providing he passes a fitness test early Saturday, as expected.

Gavin Williams is definitely out of the clash with a knee injury, whilst Wilnis (bruised ribs) and Sito (knee) are both likely to make it.

Fullers omission from the squad is however, a real blow for Town and the onus will now be on young McDonald to continue his goal scoring touch that he found at Gresty Road in the week, after replacing the injured Alan Lee.

In team news for Wolves, full back Lee Naylor will now make the clash and the Guv'nor, Paul Ince, is also expected to shake off injury.
