Boss Mick McCarthy will weigh up whether to further add to his squad, but says he’ll not be making any “major signings” before the transfer window closes a week today.
Asked whether he’s looking to add to his squad, McCarthy said: "We’ll see. But we’ll not be going out and making any major signings.
"We’ll probably assess it afterwards and if we have to use the loan window then that’s what we’ll do.”
The Blues boss says Premier League clubs will have been holding on to their youngsters: "They wait until after the first few games and then the international break comes.
"I think some have been keeping their younger players who are excess to their squads that they would normally loan out because of World Cup commitments and people who have played there and are not ready having come back.
"You might find that there will be a few more available that we can take, if we need to.”
McCarthy will similarly assess whether to make changes to his team for next week’s trip to Derby - who beat Fulham 5-1 on Saturday - over the course of the the next few days.
"I’ll see in the week,” he said. "It’s not like I’ve got a 30-man squad to be rotating to keep everybody happy. I’ll have a look.”
