At the risk of sounding (very) harsh this is probably a blessing in disguise I think, unless we get a string of injuries to our other strikers.

Finally gets his first of the season as Ipswich lead 3-0 at Rotherham.

Just got a hat-trick - ipswich 5-2 up

There's a commentator somewhere talking about buses.

Goals can be seen here:

Pretty sure that's his first competitive hat trick too!

It is yeah, Jeff Stelling mentioned that today.

Back in goalscoring form last night, scoring both in Ipswich's 2-0 win against Blackburn. The second one was really well taken. Goals here-

Any timeline for his return?

On his way to Newcastle.

Rafa seems to have developed a taste for Irish players.

Mick Mack's take on it - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37205539

"I told the lads 'come on, let's get the elephant out of the room - Murphy's going to Newcastle, let's get on it'."

Like selling Coals to Newcastle. Well it would be if he was called Coals.

But it is a move which could put him in the top flight next season.

Typical Mick! Subtle as a brick.

I wonder why he wasn't even in the squad for the game against QPR last night.

This kind of explains it, although you'd think he'd have been fine for yesterday.

Murphy and Atsu arrived back late in the week from international duty so were not considered for the Rams clash but, having had a few extra days with the squad, the duo - plus Lazaar - could be in line for an appearance at Loftus Road on Tuesday night. However, Benitez will first analyse the condition of those players involved at the iPro Stadium - as well as the fitness of Lazaar, Murphy and Atsu - before deciding which Magpies will travel down to west London.

But all three will be considered - while DeAndre Yedlin, who netted his first United goal off the bench at Derby, could also make his full debut.
