Leeds head coach Uwe Rosler will assess midfielder Alex Mowatt before deciding on his line-up to face Ipswich.

Mowatt had been struggling with an unspecified injury ahead of Saturday's home draw against Brentford and was withdrawn at half-time, with goalscorer Mirco Antenucci replacing him.

New signing Jordan Botaka played the full 90 minutes for the Under-21s fixture against Bristol City on Monday so will not be included, but the DR Congo international could feature next weekend.

Rosler has no new injury concerns but midfielder Tommaso Bianchi remains sidelined following knee surgery.

Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy must decide whether or not to overhaul his team for the following Friday's 5-1 Sky Bet Championship defeat at Reading.

With no injuries or suspensions, he has a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Kevin Bru, Teddy Bishop and new signing Tommy Oar were all involved in Ipswich's Under-21s against Birmingham on Monday, however, meaning they are likely to miss out.
