Town boss Mick McCarthy says he has no new injuries ahead of Saturday’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday, although midfielder Lee Martin will remain behind to work on his fitness.
McCarthy said: "Everybody’s all right. Lee Martin’s OK, he’ll train tomorrow but he’s not going to travel because he’s only had 80 minutes against Millwall since [he was sent off against] Forest.
"He’s been ill and he’s had an ankle injury, so he’ll stay behind and train and play on Monday against Colchester [for the U21s]. Everybody else is all right.”
Striker Aaron Mclean hurt his foot in training earlier in the week, but the Blues boss says there’s no break: "I think he had an x-ray and it’s not broken anyway.
"We were worried that we might have to put an injection on it on Tuesday night, but I didn’t want to do that and then find that it didn’t work. He’s trained today. He’s OK, he’s fine.”
Paul Taylor (foot surgery) and Josh Carson (broken toe) are both ruled out for the season but are expected to be OK to start pre-season along with the rest of the squad.
