Ipswich Town have a goalkeeping crisis both first choice goalkeepers are fit for Saturday’s trip to Burnley’s Turfmoor ground.

Kelvin Davis is back after a six week lay off with a back injury so Joe Royle has to choose either him to play against Burnley or stick with Welsh under 21 international Lewis Price who has yet to taste defeat for the first team.

Royle: “Lewis has done brilliantly for us and with Kelvin being fit again, it will give me some thinking to do, Kelvin is fine now and was throwing himself around in training without any problems.

“It's his kicking that has caused him more trouble than anything else over the last week or two but that has eased now.

“It's good to have him back in contention and it's a difficult decision to choose between them - but it's a nice one to have to make.”

Ipswich goalkeeper Kelvin Davis who made a return to full training on Monday played for the reserves in their 2-0 win over west ham last night has also said: “I'm ready to play but we will have to see what happens. It is down to the manager but if he gives me the call on Saturday then I'm ready, willing and able to play.”
