Ipswich Town will be without at least four players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), Axel Tuanzebe (hamstring), Janoi Donacien (ankle) and George Hirst (knee) all remain sidelined as they continue to recover from injury.
Kieran McKenna has revealed that some players, including Kalvin Phillips and Ben Johnson, are still "managing" their injury concerns and will be assessed ahead of kickoff, while some unnamed players are dealing with "seasonal illnesses".
Arijanet Muric has the full support of McKenna despite his error in last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, and he is expected to continue in goal, while Jacob Greaves will be hoping to force his way back into the matchday squad and is set to battle with Cameron Burgess for start at centre-back alongside Dara O'Shea.
Jack Taylor was handed his first Premier League start last time out and will hope to retain his place in centre-midfield alongside captain Sam Morsy, but he could be replaced by Jens Cajuste or Phillips if he is deemed fit to start.
Conor Chaplin will also be eyeing up another start after scoring his first Premier League goal against Bournemouth, but McKenna may consider moving Omari Hutchinson into the number 10 role and recalling either Jack Clarke or Wes Burns to start on the right flank. Top scorer Liam Delap, meanwhile, is set to continue up front.
Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Muric; H. Clarke, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap
