Full-back Chris Makin could return to the reserves side tonight after recently missing a number of first team games with a thigh injury. The former Sunderland man will be assessed in training today before being given the go-ahead.

As usual it will be a very young second string which faces Charlton at Portman Road this evening (KO 1pm) with Andy Marshall and Alun Armstrong the only other experienced players likely to be involved.

Former Town defender Hermann Hreidarsson will not be in the visitors' side as he is away with Iceland at present.
