Town have confirmed that top scorer Tom Lawrence suffered no serious damage to his ankle during Tuesday’s 3-0 home defeat to Derby and could even be involved in Saturday’s game against Reading at Portman Road.
Lawrence, on loan for the season from Leicester, turned his ankle close to the end of the first half of the Rams match and was subbed at the break.
"Tom had a scan yesterday and the news is good,” Town physio Matt Byard told the club site.
"He has basically sprained his ankle so he won’t be out for any length of time. He could even be back for the weekend. We are looking at it as 50/50 at the moment.”
Wales international Lawrence, 23, has scored eight goals in 24 starts and one sub appearance since joining the Blues in August.
