Toto Nsiala should be fit to face Wigan

Ipswich should have defender Toto Nsiala available for their Sky Bet League One opener against Wigan on Sunday.

Nsiala missed the midweek EFL Trophy tie against Arsenal Under-21s with a hamstring problem, but Corrie Ndaba (dead leg) is doubtful.

Forward Kayden Jackson, subject of a bid from Championship side Bournemouth which was rejected, remains sidelined by a groin injury.

Midfielder Cole Skuse (knee) is expected to return to training next week, but Flynn Downes faces a fight to get back into the plans of manager Paul Lambert after being left out of the opening two fixtures.

Wigan have been granted verbal permission by the English Football League to start their league campaign as planned despite being in administration.

Captain Sam Morsy has completed a permanent transfer to Championship side Middlesbrough following five seasons with the Latics.

Experienced defender Danny Fox has re-signed for Wigan on a short-term deal after training with them since his contract expired at the end of the season.

Former Brentford full-back Josh Clarke has joined the Latics – also on a short-term contract – and is expected to be available for the trip to Suffolk.
