Town Waiting on Duo Ahead of Forest Clash - Ipswich Town News
Town are waiting on Jon Walters and Kevin Lisbie ahead of Wednesday's home game with Nottingham Forest. Walters missed the draw with Blackpool due to a stomach bug, while Lisbie hurt his back in the warm-up.
Physio Matt Byard told the club site: "Kevin tweaked his back when he was warming up down the side of the pitch during the game.
"He had to have treatment and we couldn't put him on. He missed training today and we will have another look at him on Tuesday, but he is obviously a concern for us at this stage.
"Jon is over the bug and did some light work today and he will train fully on Tuesday. It's a case then of seeing what's in the tank."
Town will also be able to call on David Norris and Alan Quinn, both of whom missed the game against the Seasiders due to one-match bans.
