Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna says Jens Cajuste and Kalvin Phillips haven’t been ruled out of Wednesday’s trip to Manchester United.

Cajuste turned his ankle in the 4-1 defeat to Spurs, while Phillips picked up a calf issue.

Both midfielders will be assessed ahead of the game at Old Trafford, which has developed into a shock possible relegation six pointer.

“Jens and Kalvin going off was a blow,” McKenna said. 

“They're still being assessed, to be honest. We don't know the severity, it looks like hopefully neither is a very, very serious injury, but they're still sort of getting some scans and assessments today before we know further. And other than that, I think we're similar to how we are.

“Of course, it will be nice to have Axel Tuanzebe back in the squad (following his one-match ban). Conor Chaplin’s got a full session in with the group today, which was good.

“Julio (Enciso)’s working with a physiotherapist still on his knee and otherwise, we're pretty much the same.”
