Town first team coach Bryan Klug says the Blues can expect a tricky game when Burnley are at Portman Road on Saturday. The Clarets have won six of their 11 away games so far this season.
Town have been told they have no right of appeal regarding Ricardo Fuller s red card at Crystal Palace. The Jamaican will now miss two games which is likely to signal the end of his short but eventful loan spell with the Blues.
Alan Lee, Jimmy Juan and Fabian Wilnis all face fitness tests on Saturday morning before a decision is made on whether they are ready to face Preston at Deepdale. Lee and Juan were back in full training on Thursday but Wilnis remains out after injuring his knee in last weekend s 2-0 defeat of Leicester City.
Town picked up their second clean sheet of the season as they drew 0-0 at Leicester s Walkers Stadium. Both teams had chances in a game in which young Irish keeper Shane Supple made his senior debut as a substitute after Lewis Price had succumbed to a first half knee injury.
