Players from Ipswich Town are expected to miss the game against Southampton.

On Tuesday night, Ipswich Town travels to Southampton for a Championship match.

The Tractor Boys enter this contest in solid form after winning their last two league contests.

The team led by Kieran McKenna has had a great start, winning five of their first six league games and advancing to the Carabao Cup third round.

Their lone loss came in a nail-biting 4-3 match against Leeds United, but Ipswich have since resumed their winning ways.

The Tractor Boys defeated Sheffield Wednesday by a goal to nil over the weekend, earning all three points. They will now travel to Southampton, who will be extremely vulnerable after losing their most recent two games by scores of 5-0 and 4-1, respectively.

Here at Football League World, we’ve looked at the most recent Ipswich Town team news and who will be missing the game as the contest draws closer.

Who will not be playing for Ipswich Town against Southampton?

Ipswich does have a few injury concerns heading into this match, which sees two promotion prospects face head-to-head so early in the season.

Leif Davis, the left defender, appears to be in or out for this matchup because he needs to be evaluated before the game.

In previous years, Davis has improved greatly under McKenna, and on Saturday, he demonstrated this by assisting Conor Chaplin in scoring.

The defender had to be taken off the field, though, after he awkwardly landed on his ankle later in the match.

It is anticipated that Brandon Williams of Manchester United will take Davis’ position if he is deemed ineligible for this match due to injury.

Winger Wes Burns is another player who might be absent from this game against St. Mary’s. On Saturday, he was forced to leave the field in the 77th minute due to tightness in his hamstring, a problem that caused him to be sent home earlier from Wales’ international duties.

Ipswich has a deep roster, so if Burns was unavailable, Kayden Jackson or Omari Hutchinson would likely step in to fill the need.

Since Ipswich is in better shape than Southampton going into this match, McKenna’s team should be prepared to exact punishment on the visiting club.

Most people would anticipate that Ipswich will lose given how the two sides have been performing up to this point. Russell Martin will be looking for a response from his squad, and that might result in a different Southampton since Southampton can’t play any worse than they have in their last two games.

Ipswich will be aware that getting three points tonight would be important because it would put them one step closer to overtaking a prospective promotion opponent and give them a chance to win the night or the midweek games.
