Midfielder Lee Evans is set to under go scans this morning on the knee injury he sustained during Friday’s 1-0 home victory over Derby County, while Kane Vincent-Young is also set to miss Tuesday’s game at Port Vale.
Evans was substituted in the 76th minute of Friday’s game having suffered the knock earlier in the half.
"We came through Friday mostly OK,” manager Kieran McKenna told iFollow Ipswich. "We’re still checking Lee Evans's knee. He’s having some scans this morning so we’ll see how that goes. We obviously have Sam [Morsy] suspended as well.
"Kane Vincent-Young has got a minor calf injury so he’s unavailable. We’ve had a few injuries over the last month or two but that’s why we have the squad we do. We have really good players ready to step in.”
Centre-half Cameron Burgess and midfielder Panutche Camara came through 60 minutes of the U21s' 3-2 victory over Bristol City on Friday.
"It's very possible that Cameron and Panutche will be involved,”
McKenna added. "We’re going to need everybody.
"We’re all hands on deck. We’re going to need 11 strong players on the pitch and then strong players on the bench ready to come on.”
The 28-year-old Welshman’s injury means the Blues seem likely to be without both their regular central midfielders at Vale Park with skipper Morsy suspended for one game having picked up his fifth booking of the season on Friday.
Dominic Ball will replace one of them, while youngster Cameron Humphreys looks set to come in for his full league debut with recent signing Camara unlikely to be viewed ready for a start having been out for five months with a groin injury prior to playing 45 minutes at Cambridge a week ago and his hour for the U21s.
