Wright has not played for Ipswich since their third round win over Chesterfield

Ipswich Town defender David Wright has declared himself fit for Saturday's FA Cup tie at Chelsea.

The 28-year-old has missed four of Ipswich's last five games because of a hamstring injury.

He has told the club website: "I have been working with the fitness coach for the last two weeks and stepped things up at the weekend.

"There has been no reaction and as far as I'm concerned I'm fit and available for selection for the Chelsea game."

Another player who could be called up for the match at Stamford Bridge is striker Connor Wickham.

The 15-year-old hit a hat-trick as Ipswich beat Crystal Palace 4-2 in the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday.

Wickham - who was an unused substitute in round three - would become Ipswich's youngest ever player if he makes his debut.
