Town boss Paul Lambert has made seven changes to his team for today’s game against Swansea City with Will Keane, Dean Gerken, Trevoh Chalobah, Gwion Edwards, Andre Dozzell, Callum Elder and James Bree all in the XI.
Will Keane and James Collins could return to the Town squad at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday having trained, while Teddy Bishop is expected to be back in the travelling party having missed out last week, but Jon Nolan is a big doubt. Long-term absentee Tom Adeyemi has also been training for the first time since pre-season.
Third-placed Town return to action following the international break when they face a Blackburn Rovers side struggling for wins under new manager John Eustace at Ewood Park live on Sky on Good Friday, but boss Kieran McKenna warns that the Lancastrians have been far from easy to beat under their incoming boss (KO 5.30pm).
Town face 21st-placed Reading at Portman Road on Saturday chasing three vital points which could cut the gap to safety to six points plus goal difference.
