Richard Naylor has shaken off a groin injury in time to line-up against Coventry City tomorrow.

The Ipswich Town defender missed last Saturday's FA Cup third round 3-1 defeat at the hands of Premiership Bolton Wanderers, but has come through training in the last couple of days with no ill effects.

The loyal Town servant is expected to drop back into the line-up in place of youngster Scott Mitchell.

Ian Westlake, however, will miss tomorrow's visit of the struggling Sky Blues as Town look to extend their lead at the top of the Coca-Cola Championship.

The Clacton-based midfielder collected his fifth booking of the season in Ipswich's 2-1 win at Plymouth Argyle, and becomes the second Blues player to accumulate a handful of yellow cards this season following Kevin Horlock's one-game ban against Wigan Athletic.
