Town boss Joe Royle has admitted that he made a tentative enquiry regarding the availability of former loanee Alan Mahon. A tabloid newspaper linked the Irishman with a return to Portman Road over the weekend.
Central defender John McGreal has emerged as a late doubt for the Blues ahead of Sunday s Sky clash with West Brom. The former Tranmere man limped out of Friday training with a twisted ankle.
Goalkeeper Kelvin Davis is an additional worry for Joe Royle ahead of Tuesday s visit to Walsall, the keeper having picked up a stomach bug. Better news is that Tommy Miller and Ian Westlake are OK, while Richard Naylor may play despite sustaining a broken toe against Millwall on Saturday.
Town have been hit by a major injury crisis ahead of Tuesday s trip to face Walsall at the Bescot Stadium. The Blues particularly have a lack of central defenders as they prepare for the visit to the West Midlands.
