Midfielder Luke Hyam is a doubt ahead of Saturday’s trip to Bolton Wanderers with the calf injury he sustained in the 3-1 victory of Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. Blues boss Mick McCarthy says ex-Trotter Nigel Reo-Coker will definitely miss out with his hamstring problem.
McCarthy said: "I still don’t know how many games Nigel will miss, I think he’s hoping to train next week.
"But the bigger worry is that Luke Hyam got a kick on his calf and he won’t train today, but hopefully he’ll be OK.
"I think he’ll be all right, but it’s enough that he’s not going to train today and we’ll have to wait and see tomorrow. Everybody else is fine, no problems.”
If Hyam fails to make it, Andy Drury would appear to be the 21-year-old's likely replacement in the centre of midfield alongside Guirane N'Daw.
Town’s only long-term injury is Paul Taylor, who is expected to miss the season having recently undergone foot surgery.
