Squad for Sunday - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Ian Westlake is included in the 16 for Sunday's live Sky game against Sunderland at Portman Road (KO Midday). Westlake, who picked up a knee injury in the defeat at Wolves, will have a fitness test on Saturday.
If last year's Player of the Year fails to make it, Kevin Horlock looks favourite to come into the starting line-up in central midfield, with Frenchman Jimmy Juan perhaps coming into the squad as midfield cover from the bench.
Squad: Bent, Couñago, Currie, Davis, De Vos, Horlock, Kuqi, Magilton, Miller, Naylor, Price, Richards, Scowcroft, Unsworth, Westlake, Wilnis.
