Town boss Mick McCarthy has named an unchanged side for this afternoon’s game at Leeds United, however, Teddy Bishop and Luke Varney both miss out on places on the bench.
Bishop broke his nose during last Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, while one-time Whites striker Varney suffered a hamstring problem during Monday’s 4-0 U23s victory over Leeds. Andre Dozzell and Josh Emmanuel replace them among the subs.
Town again look set to line-up with Tom Lawrence behind lone striker Brett Pitman with Freddie Sears on the left and Grant Ward on the right.
The Leeds starting line-up includes former Blues loanee Chris Wood, but midfielder Liam Bridcutt has failed to recover from a foot injury.
Leeds: Green, Ayling, Jansson, Bartley (c), Taylor, Phillips, O’Kane, Hernandez, Dallas, Sacko, Wood. Subs: Silvestri, Coyle, Cooper, Grimes, Mowatt, Roofe, Antonsson.
Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Webster, Berra, Knudsen, Skuse, Douglas, Ward, Sears, Lawrence, Pitman. Subs: Gerken, Emmanuel, Kenlock, Bru, Grant, Dozzell, Best. Referee: Stephen Martin (Staffordshire).
