Ipswich Town winger Jaden Philogene has returned to training after being sidelined since January because of a medial collateral ligament injury in his knee.

The 24-year-old has missed the side's past 10 league games but boss Kieran McKenna has not yet made a decision on whether the England U21international will make the squad for their trip to Hillsborough on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

There is also a question mark over midfielder Azor Matusiwa's availability – he is being assessed after going off the 3-3 draw to Stoke with a hamstring issue.

Defender Cedric Kipre will miss the game as he is suspended, while midfielder Anis Mehmeti and right-back Darnell Furlong are both on nine yellows.

However, McKenna is unconcerned about the impact the possibility of further suspensions will have on his team selection.

"You do consider things like yellow cards," McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"We will take everything into consideration but the first consideration is picking a team that will go and win the game.".
