Town boss Mick McCarthy has recalled skipper Carlos Edwards, Andy Drury, Jay Tabb, David McGoldrick and Daryl Murphy for today’s game at Derby County.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Frank Nouble, Michael Chopra and Guirane N’Daw drop to the bench, while Lee Martin misses out on a place in the 18 having been ill this week. Aaron McLean and Reece Brown were also unwell and didn't travel.
Striker David McGoldrick will be playing the final game of his 93-day loan spell but will remain training at Town for the remainder of the season under the terms of the deal done with Nottingham Forest in January with the Blues continuing to pay his wages until the summer when he is set to sign a two-year contract.
