Team Lineups
Team news for Saturday afternoon's Championship clash between Ipswich and Middlesbrough at Portman Road.
Lee Bowyer continues to be Ipswich's only absentee.
The veteran midfielder has been missing with a groin injury of late but has returned to training this week and is set to be involved in first-team affairs sooner rather than later.
Manager Paul Jewell does not have any other injury or suspension concerns heading into the encounter and is set to keep faith with an unchanged line-up for the third successive match.
Having seen his side blow away West Ham 5-1 Jewell named the same XI for last weekend's last-gasp 3-2 victory at Coventry and, with back-to-back wins secured for only the second time since October, the same side will be looking to make it nine points from nine.
Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray will make a series of late checks before naming his side.
Midfielders Faris Haroun (hamstring) and Barry Robson (dislocated finger) did not figure in the 2-1 FA Cup fourth round replay defeat by Barclays Premier League Sunderland, while striker Marvin Emnes (also hamstring) was used only as a substitute.
All three will be assessed before Mowbray names his team for the game at Portman Road, although Haroun is perhaps the biggest doubt.
Goalkeeper Danny Coyne (calf) has already been ruled out, while midfielders Nicky Bailey (knee) and Merouane Zemmama (hernia surgery) are gradually working their way back to fitness.
However, striker Scott McDonald is facing 10-12 weeks on the sidelines as he recovers from medial ligament damage.
