Striker Danny Haynes is in with a chance of being involved on Saturday when the Blues take on Leicester at Portman Road. The 18-year-old is back in training after injuring his ankle shortly before scoring the winning goal in the 2-1 derby victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road.

Boss Joe Royle said: "Danny has done some training and he has a chance of being fit for the home game against Leicester on Saturday.

"He did some running yesterday with the rehab unit and he will have a chance. There's no doubt that young blood heals quicker and his progress is good news.

"We're not getting carried away, but the signs are encouraging. Danny has been able to do more than we had expected him to do, but it's still early days."

Fellow frontman Alan Lee will not be in contention for the Foxes game but could be ready to play in the match at Preston the following week.
