Juan hoping groin injury is behid him
Ipswich have been plaugued by injuries in this campaign and should Lee's hamstring be not quite ready for Saturday, Town will have to make do with two fit senior strikers; Danny Haynes and Dean McDonald.

Alan Lee pulled up with a slight tear in his hamstring at Gresty Road, on Valentines day. Since then Royle bought in Ricardo Fuller, on loan from Southampton to cover for his absence but Fuller picked up a yellow card on Saturday and will be suspended for the trip to his former club, Preston.

Jimmy Juan, who is joint top scorer at the club, has been suffering with a groin injury and after both injured players got through some encouraging fitness work this week, Royle will allow them back into full training today, before making a decision as to whether they will be named in his initial 18 man squad ahead of Saturdays play-off clash with Preston.
