Kevin Bru and Tommy Oar have joined the rest of the squad for the trip to Fulham ahead of Tuesday’s game at Craven Cottage, while manager Mick McCarthy says winger Ryan Fraser is fit enough to start matches and Teddy Bishop continues to make progress. Larsen Touré remains sidelined with a groin injury, however.
Bru has missed the last three games with a hamstring problem, while Oar has been unavailable for the last two matches with a knee injury.
"Kevin Bru’s travelling and Tommy Oar’s travelling,” McCarthy said. "Bish is training and he’s had no complaints about anything, which is great. It’s good to have the two lads back. And everybody’s fine [after Saturday].”
Scotland U21 international Ryan Fraser was back in the squad on Saturday having returned to Town from parent club AFC Bournemouth, where he had undergone his rehab after his knee injury, the day before.
McCarthy says the 21-year-old is fit enough to start games, but hinted that he would be on the bench at Craven Cottage.
"He’s ready to start a game, no question,” the Town boss added. "Watching him, he’s been terrific in training over the last few days.
"Complete 90 minutes? That’s another thing altogether but he can start, he’s sharp and strong enough and completely injury free.
"He’s trained brilliantly. But I’ve just spoken to him and said ‘Look, we’ve been playing well and winning’ and he understands. He’s back and he’s ready to go. If I need him, he can play.”
Larsen Touré is still out with his groin injury but McCarthy says that was to be expected: "Larsen was always going to be three or four weeks, he really hurt his groin. Hopefully he’ll be OK.”
Luke Varney is continuing his comeback from the ruptured achilles he suffered while on loan with the Blues during the play-off semi-final in May.
McCarthy says the 32-year-old, a free agent following his release by Blackburn in the summer, will travel with the squad to Fulham with talks regarding his Town contract continuing.
"They’re ongoing," McCarthy said. "He trained with the first team today and he’s travelling with us today just to come to the game.
"The lads he’d be training with are off tomorrow and then we’ll have a decent group training with on Wednesday.”
