Assistant caretaker-manager Gerard Nash says Bersant Celina is over the illness which saw him miss last week’s 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest ahead of Saturday’s home game against Aston Villa.
Centre-half Adam Webster has joined Town’s lengthy injury list with a hamstring problem which could see January signing Barry Cotter make his Blues debut when Barnsley visit Portman Road on Tuesday evening or in one of the season’s other remaining games.
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.
Striker Freddie Sears says his rehabilitation from the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury he suffered in the Norwich game in February has gone well so far and he is looking forward to getting back in action next season.
Cole Skuse and James Collins are back in training ahead of Saturday’s game at home to Hull City, while Trevoh Chalobah is fine despite being withdrawn from the England U20s squad at the end of last week, however, Jack Lankester is unlikely to feature again this season.
