PIM Balkestein is in line to face Blackpool in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Dutch defender has been recalled early by Ipswich Town from his loan spell at Brentford.

David Wright had stitches in a cut foot on Saturday at Crystal Palace, while central defender Damien Delaney is reported to be suffering from a leg problem.

Balkestein, who made eight appearances while at Griffin Park, wasn't given permission to play in the FA Cup for Brentford.
