Town quintet called up for November international action

Five Ipswich Town players have been called up for senior and youth national teams ahead of the November international fixtures. Sasa Lukic received a call-up for Serbia despite recently dealing with a groin issue, while fellow midfielder Exequiel Palacios will join Argentina for friendly matches against Uruguay and Costa Rica. Attackers Daizen Maeda and Issa Diop earned call-ups for Japan and Morocco respectively, with youngster Sindre Walle Egeli linking up with Norway's Under-21 squad.

Manager Gary O'Neil hopes Lukic can feature against Bournemouth before departing for Belgrade. Meanwhile, Maeda will represent Japan in friendlies against Brazil and Paraguay in Singapore, while Diop is set to face Niger in a double-header. More Ipswich players, including Julio Enciso, Dara O'Shea, and Abdul Fatawu, are expected to receive international call-ups later in the week.
