Bristol City vs Ipswich - Calf problem keeps Niki Maenpaa out again for Bristol City
Posted Tuesday, March 12, 2019 by PA
Bristol City are again without goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa against Ipswich at Ashton Gate.
Maenpaa missed the 1-0 home defeat to Leeds on Saturday with a calf injury sustained in the previous game at Preston.
Max O’Leary is set to deputise with the Robins hopeful the Finland international will be fit for their next Sky Bet Championship game at Sheffield United on March 30.
Play-off-chasing City have no new injury worries and were boosted this week with midfielder Korey Smith back in training after damaging knee ligaments in August.
Bottom-placed Ipswich are expected to hand Kayden Jackson his first league start since the end of December.
Jackson replaced the hobbling Collin Quaner in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with West Brom, but Ipswich boss Paul Lambert said after the game that he intended to start the former Accrington striker at Ashton Gate anyway.
Midfielder Trevoh Chalobah returns to the squad after a thigh injury.
Flynn Downes and Matthew Pennington could also figure after being laid low by a virus which has swept the Ipswich training ground.
