Slight Doubts Over Pair - Ipswich Town News

Town have slight doubts over central defensive pair Richard Naylor and Jason De Vos ahead of Sunday's final day showdown at Brighton (KO 1pm, Sky Sports Two). De Vos has a virus and Naylor an achilles problem.

The Canadian international is hopeful that he'll be back in training prior to Sunday's game after missing out earlier in the week.

Naylor has also missed training this week after being substituted during the 5-1 win against Crewe last Saturday, but like De Vos is expected to be OK to face Mark McGhee's men.

If either of the pair fail to make it, Drissa Diallo will come into the side. Should both of them miss out, David Unsworth would join Diallo at the centre of the defence with Matt Richards coming in at left-back.

The Town squad will train today and then have Friday off, before a session on Saturday morning prior to making the trip to Sussex.
