Ian Westlake is the latest Ipswich Town player to be struck down with 'flu ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup showdown with Derby County.
The Clacton-based midfielder has joined John McGreal and Tommy Miller as a doubt for the third-round encounter at Portman Road.
If Westlake fails to recover in time, Martijn Reuser would be the favourite to take his place for his first start since mid-August.
Town boss Joe Royle had pledged to make changes to his line-up, although that plan may have been scuppered by the 'flu bug.
Dean Bowditch is another player tipped for a run-out and it would only be the teenager's second start for Town.
Jermaine Wright is expected to recover from a gashed foot in time to face the Rams.
