Didn't realise we hadn't started one of these yet.
Injured: Sa, Sarabia, Traore
Suspended: Joao Gomes
One yellow away from suspension: Toti, Ait-Nouri, Lemina
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna revealed on Thursday that his squad has been affected by illness this week.
Kalvin Phillips and Ben Johnson are still "managing knocks", while Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst and Chiedozie Ogbene are all sidelined.

Key GON pre-match comments:
On Traore getting closer
“Everyone has come through fine this week. Jose Sa still won't make it, Pablo won't quite make it, and obviously the longer term ones Bouba and Yerson won't make the game. But apart from that, everyone's fine. Everyone's trained, they'll be checked after training, and hopefully there's no issues from today's session.
“We're hoping for him [Traore] to be back around it at the end of the month. Depending on how the next few weeks go, that could mean just back in training, or it could mean, if he's able to accelerate it, maybe we'll be able to get him in some squads, but he's still got a little bit to go.
“It is getting closer, and you can see the excitement in his face when you bump into him around the place. He's doing a lot of hard work to get himself back in shape and he's one that we're really looking forward to welcoming back into the into the group, because he can definitely add something.”
On the set piece work
“We're working very, very hard on them. A lot of work on them again this week. Really disappointed with the West Ham one, because we found a way to be much more solid in the game. We'd managed to quieten the crowd, and we were coming into a stage of the game where we could really try and attack it from that moment, and we gave West Ham a real soft one.
“To give goals away like that makes such a big difference to the feel of the performance and everything that goes with it. The lads have worked very hard in meetings and on the training pitch, and I’m confident the work we're doing will definitely help turn the defensive set pieces around.”
