Michael Kightly could return to action tomorrow.

Boss Mick McCarthy refused to confirm whether the winger would start against Ipswich but it seems likely that he will have at least a place on the bench.

Kights has been sidelined with an ankle injury suffered last November but has recently made a successful comeback for the reserves.

"I have Kightly available and he will be involved in the squad," says Mick.

"It will be a boost to the squad and it will be good to have some fresh legs. The same goes for Stephen Ward who is also available.

"At some stage we will be able to get both Kights and Matt Jarvis on the park together and they will be a threat out wide."
