Jonny Williams and Jonny Parr both miss today’s game at Blackpool due to injury, while Stephen Hunt is recalled and Tyrone Mings returns after his one-match ban.
Williams (ankle) and Parr (groin) join Kevin Bru (groin), who was ruled out earlier in the week, on the sidelines. Parr’s injury could mean the Blues don’t extend Elliott Hewitt’s loan spell at Colchester when it ends tomorrow.
Skipper Luke Chambers will continue at right-back with Mings taking up his usual left-back role.
Manager Mick McCarthy has options elsewhere. Hunt - who almost joined Blackpool before signing at Town last season - could start in the front three or as a midfield four with Teddy Bishop also moving wide.
Blackpool: Lewis, Dunne, Clarke, Rentmeister, Daniels, McMahon, Lundstram, J Oriol, Delfouneso, Miller, Ranger. Subs: Parish, Zoko, Orlandi, Blackman, Mellis, E Oriol, Cywka.
Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Mings, Berra, Smith, Skuse, Hyam, Bishop, Hunt, McGoldrick, Murphy. Subs: Bialkowski, Clarke, Anderson, Tabb, Henshall, Bajner, Sammon. Referee: Andy Haines (Tyne and Wear).
