Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy to have goalkeeper dilemma at Bournemouth

Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy admits that it will be a tough decision choosing whether to play Dean Gerken or Bartosz Bialkowski in goal against Bournemouth.

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has admitted that he will have a difficult decision to make when it comes to choosing his goalkeeper for this weekend's top-four Championship clash at Bournemouth.

Regular number-one Dean Gerken missed the Tractor Boys' last three games before the international break, with Bartosz Bialkowski coming in and keeping two clean sheets as Ipswich won all three games to move into the top four.

Speaking of summer signing Bialkowski, McCarthy told the club website: "He has been frustrated because he couldn't get in the team. Now he's in and he has done great for us.

"When Gerks is fit - and he should be okay for Saturday - then it gives me a problem but it's a nice problem to have."

If Ipswich can record a fourth consecutive win at the Goldsands Stadium on Saturday they could go top of the table depending on results elsewhere.
