Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna says he is going to have to assess the fitness of 'one or two players' ahead of tomorrow's crucial clash with Huddersfield Town at Portman Road.
It's been a busy final week of the regular season for the Blues, a pulsating 3-3 draw at Hull last Saturday night followed up by a nerve-shredding 2-1 win at Coventry on Tuesday evening.
Those results have left Town needing just a point from tomorrow's season-finale, against a team that's effectively relegated, to secure back-to-back promotions to the Premier League.
Leif Davis rolled his ankle at Hull then took a few kicks at Coventry, Wes Burns, recently back from a hamstring injury, went off with cramp in midweek, while Harry Clarke was out the squad due to a knee issue.
"We’ve got a few knocks and a few niggles, as you do at this stage of the season, especially coming off two quick games,” said McKenna. "We’re going to assess one or two in the morning.
“We’ve no long-term injuries, no injuries that as we stand here today have immediately ruled anyone out of the squad, but we do have some players who are carrying some issues that might determine their involvement tomorrow or how many minutes they can play.
“We’re going to take all those decisions to Saturday morning and make sure the team we go out with has enough freshness and readiness to go and deliver.”
The only long-term injury is Janoi Donacien, who recently underwent surgery on an adductor issue.
