Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna gave some mixed injury news ahead of tomorrow night's League One home clash with Fleetwood Town.

The Blues boss had 10 senior players unavailable through injury for last Sunday's 4-0 FA Cup home win against Buxton.

Asked if Janoi Donacien (who hasn't played since suffering an unspecified knock against Exeter) and Freddie Ladapo (who reported a tight calf when warming up against Portsmouth) would be fit to face Fleetwood, McKenna replied: "To be fair we've had a good week on the injury front in general.

"Sone Aluko has returned to training well ahead of schedule and has looked terrific, which is a big boost.

"Lee Evans is recovering well now and is starting to get some work in on the grass. So he's a little bit ahead of schedule too.

"And Marcus (Harness) is straight back to work in the gym with no crutches or braces or anything like that.

"Janoi, Freddie, Greg (Leigh, knee) and Panutche (Camara, groin) - the injuries that are hopefully a little bit more short-term - some of them are going to make it tomorrow, for some of them it's probably going to be a little bit early to start and some won't make the squad.

"With the injuries that we've had I don't want to reveal which ones because, with the numbers we've got, I'd pretty much be announcing our team to Fleetwood more than 24 hours before the game. That wouldn't do us any favours.

"Some of the boys will make, some will just miss out. We won't take any risks. We feel like we've got a competitive team that can win the game."

On Harness, who suffered a knee injury at Exeter, McKenna added: "Surgery went as well as it could. It was a pretty minor operation and he's straight back to doing gym work. We still hope he could be back in and around the New Year."

Dominic Ball (knee, out for the season) and Tyreece John-Jules (hamstring, out for three to four months) are Town's longer-term injuries.
