However Town boss Joe Royle told the Ipswich Evening Star that the striker would be given his chance on Tuesday: "At his best Pablo can be a big asset to us. He will have a chance to show us at Oxford what he can do.
"He looked a bit sharper when he came on against Aalborg and hopefully Pablo can help get us back on the goal trail after a couple of barren matches. He played his part last season when we were the division's top scorers."
