On-loan Ipswich defender Jay McEveley could be fit to return to action after stepping up his rehabilitation from medial ligament damage. McEveley is on a season-long loan deal from Blackburn, but sustained the injury in November in Ipswich's 2-1 defeat against Cardiff.
It was feared that the 20-year-old would be ruled out for this season.
McEveley told the club website: "If things go according to plan, I should be available by about mid-March."
