Ipswich Town's Gary Croft is being linked with a loan move to Wigan and Wayne Brown with Norwich.

Jim Magilton has joined Alun Armstrong as a possible fitness doubt for Saturday's Premiership trip to managerless Derby.

Both have missed training so far this week after picking up injuries in Saturday's 2-1 success against Spurs.

Nevertheless, Burley expects Magilton (hamstring) and Armstrong (back and neck) to be fit for the visit to Pride Park.

Mark Venus has received treatment for a sore knee but is almost certain to keep his place in central defence.

Ipswich's FA Cup clash with Manchester City will now take place at Portman Road on Sunday, January 27.

The fourth-round tie - which kicks off at 7pm - is being screened live by the BBC.
