CRYSTAL Palace midfielder Owen Garvan is training with Ipswich Town.
Tractor Boys manager Mick McCarthy revealed the news following a friendly game on Wednesday night.
However, even though a move hasn't been ruled out, the deal is purely to have the Irishman in for training.
Garvan and McCarthy were given permission by Palace boss Tony Pulis after the 27-year-old was left behind for the club's pre-season tour of Austria and the USA.
Garvan suffered a patella injury last Friday in the warm-up in an U21 match at Beckenham Town but it seems he has shrugged it off.
The midfielder, who spent time on loan at Millwall last season, has another year left on his Palace contract.
"Owen's training with us, but only training with us," McCarthy told the East Anglian Daily Times.
"I took a look at him last year and I didn't think he was right.
"I just asked Tony (Pulis) if he's not going away with you (in pre-season) can I look at him?
"Who knows, in the future something might happen.
"He's been around, he's a great lad and he's trained well – but nothing's happening at the moment."
