Ipswich take on West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Saturday, so here's a run-down of who could be missing through injury or suspension.

Ipswich Town take on West Bromwich Albion at Portman Road on Saturday lunchtime in a mid-table Championship match, and here's a rundown who could be missing for it.

Ipswich Town take on West Bromwich Albion at Portman Road on Saturday lunchtime with both teams at something of a crossroads after stop-start openings to their season.

Ipswich looked as though they'd overcome their bumpy start to the season, only for two straight defeats to knock them back down to 14th place in the table, while West Brom haven't been able to find much consistency at all either.

For two clubs with ambitions of returning to the Premier League come the end of this season, this is an important match. The winners will likely end the weekend in the top half of the Championship table, while the losers will likely end up a number of places short of the play-off places. Here's a round-up of who won't be available for this crucial match.

Ipswich's biggest concern is the fitness of Alex Palmer

Ipswich's big worry ahead of the game is goalkeeper Alex Palmer, who limped off the pitch with a calf injury in the 24th-minute of their 3-0 home defeat to Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night.

Speaking after the match, manager Kieran McKenna said that, "It didn't look great in terms of how heavy he was limping", and there are serious doubts over whether he'll be available for the match.

Further injury doubts concern Sammie Szmodics and Sindre Walle Egeli, who both returned early after being withdrawn from their international squads. Both Szmodics and Egeli played in their 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough but then missed the Charlton game. Ipswich don't have any suspensions at present, though Azor Matusiwa is on four yellow cards from nine appearances so far this season and will pick up a suspension if or when he picks up his next one.

West Brom's big doubt is Manchester United loanee star Collyer

West Bromwich Albion will be hoping that one of their big hopes for this season, who's recently been out, will be returning for this match. Toby Collyer, who's on loan with them from Manchester United, made his full home debut against Preston last weekend but had to be withdrawn 15 minutes into the second half with a hamstring injury and missed their 2-1 defeat at Watford on Wednesday night.

But it's not all bad news for Albion, with hopes that two players who have had significant injury struggles could be getting back to normal. Daryl Dike returned to the bench for their defeat at Watford and should figure again against Ipswich. The striker was making his first appearance for the club since the end of last season.

Tammer Bany has been out for even longer, having not played for them since the start of April, but his return date remains unclear. Karlan Grant returned for both the Preston and Watford matches (although he didn't get on the pitch), and should be in contention again.

On the suspensions front, West Brom haven't had any yet this season, but Chris Mepham, George Campbell and Nat Phillips are all on three and would pick up a one-game ban should they pick up a further two. Albion currently have the sixth-best disciplinary record in the Championship.
