Sixto Peralta is the latest fitness doubt for Ipswich Town's next game at Arsenal on April 21.

The Argentinian is still struggling with a thigh strain which has troubled him for the last month.

Mark Venus, another player linked with a possible summer departure from Portman Road, is likely to be fit for the trip to Highbury.

"He hasn't been able to train yet this week but we expect him to join in either tomorrow or Friday," said Ipswich boss George Burley.

Chris Makin (ankle) and Jermaine Wright (groin) look less likely to be involved. Both are still some way from being ready to train.

Burley added: "What happened at Bolton was very, very disappointing but it's in the past now. We've got to look forward rather than backwards and concentrate on Arsenal."
