Kalvin Phillips - Out against Southampton Phillips is not in the squad to face Southampton on Saturday for an undisclosed reason.

Impact Phillips misses out on Saturday's squad with no hint of an injury being given in the buildup. The midfielder had started back-to-back fixtures for Ipswich as Jens Cajuste takes his place in Saturday's XI.

Nathan Broadhead - Remains out Broadhead (hamstring) is not in the squad to face Southampton on Saturday.

Impact Broadhead was ruled fit in the buildup to the match, but ultimately misses Saturday's squad. The forward is a depth option at the club and has yet to debut this season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Nathan Broadhead - Fit to face Southampton Broadhead (hamstring) has been deemed fit and could be an option to face Southampton on Saturday, manager Kieran McKenna told media Thursday.

Impact Broadhead has been sidelined by a nagging hamstring injury since the start of the pre-season, but the striker could be an option off the bench for this clash against the Saints. He bagged 13 goals during the 2023-24 campaign with Ipswich, so he'll add some much-needed depth upfront now that he's healthy again.

George Hirst - Active off bench Hirst played 31 minutes off the bench during Saturday's draw with Brighton.

Impact Hirst returned from a knee injury, missing the opening three weeks of the Premier League. The forward is now fit once more, and should play a part. Despite his role as the starting striker last season it's likely he falls to the bench more often than not following the new signings in the attack.

Liam Delap - Unable to create in draw Delap registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Delap was rendered largely ineffective Saturday as Ipswich drew 0 - 0 with Brighton & Hove Albion, and the striker was removed from the contest in the 59th minute. After scoring eight goals and supplying two assists over 31 appearances (26 starts) with Hull City in the Championship during the 2023/2024 campaign, Delap will be tasked with leading the line for Ipswich as they battle to avoid relegation. Through four matches, the young striker has taken five shots (two on target), created three chances and scored once.

Jacob Greaves - Stalwart defensive performance Greaves recorded six tackles (three won), seven clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Greaves continues to have a positive impact on the Ipswich Town backline over his first four Premier League appearances after transferring from Hull City during the summer transfer window. The English central defender has been selected to the starting XI for each of Ipswich's first four matches, playing every available minute. During Saturday's draw, he led the Tractor Boys with six tackles (three won) and seven clearances. He also contributed a single block.

Dara O'Shea - Attempts two shots O'Shea registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Brighton.

Impact O'Shea made his Ipswich Town Premier League debut Saturday after completing a move back to the Premier League form recently relegated Burnely. Uncharacteristically, the central defender led a listless Ipswich attack with two shots attempted (zero on target). Playing more to his skillset, O'Shea also made two tackles (two won), six clearances, and set team-highs in interceptions (four) and blocks (four). O'Shea scored three goals and supplied four assists over 33 appearances (32 starts) in the Premier League with Burnley during the 2023-2024 campaign.

Arijanet Muric - Earns clean sheet Muric registered six saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Brighton.

Impact Muric was arguably Ipswich Town's man of the match Saturday as they drew 0 - 0 with Brighton & Hove Albion. Muric made six saves ranging from the straightforward to the spectacular diving, fingertip save all while maintaining the brick-wall illusion of the Ipswich goal frame. In additional to his impressive shot-stopping, the veteran keeper also managed three clearances. The clean sheet was his first of the campaign and first for Ipswich. Muric's next test will likely come Saturday as Ipswich travel to take on Southampton who have scored just one goal through four Premier League fixtures.
