Boss Mick McCarthy has revealed that Lee Martin, Aaron Mclean and Reece Brown are all suffering with illness ahead of Saturday’s trip to Derby County.
McCarthy says there are no new injuries, just the trio suffering with the bug: "In terms of knocks, bumps and bruises they’re all OK, but Aaron Mclean and Reece Brown have trained today but weren’t right, so they’ve gone home with whatever pills they can take nowadays, probably paracetamol, and Lee Martin wasn’t in for similar reasons — ill.
"We’ll have to have to wait and see how they get on but everybody else trained, they were fine.”
Midfielder Andy Drury had a tight groin after the Leeds match and was left out of the 18 at Millwall but is now OK.
"He’s all right, he’s fine,” McCarthy added. "He was always going to be fine. If I’d asked him to play on Monday he would have played all right, but I wouldn’t have risked him.”
With Anthony Wordsworth having been back in training for more than a week, although not yet match fit, Paul Taylor, who underwent surgery on a foot injury early on in the season, remains the only player sidelined with injury.
The striker recently said he hoped to get back to action before the end of the campaign, but his manager is rather less confident: "No chance.”
Meanwhile, Derby will give striker Jamie Ward and midfielder Craig Bryson late fitness tests ahead of the game.
Ward, the Rams’ 12-goal top scorer, missed their 2-1 victory at Leeds on Monday with a hamstring problem, while Bryson went off in the first half with a groin injury.
