Ipswich striker Pablo Counago returns for the East Anglia derby at Portman Road against fierce rivals Norwich on Sunday.Counago has missed the last three games through suspension following his red card at Scunthorpe but will return up front alongside Alan Lee as Jim Magilton's side seek a win to keep their play-off hopes alive.

That would see Gary Roberts miss out while 18-year-old Jordan Rhodes will again be involved after he came off the bench to score his first goal in the 1-1 draw with Cardiff on Wednesday night.

Magilton could also be boosted by the return of three key players from injury.

On-loan Crystal Palace striker Shefki Kuqi is improving all the time from his hamstring injury while midfielder David Norris is back training after his heel problem.

Jon Walters is also back in training and miles ahead of schedule after knee surgery and Town have not ruled out all three making improbable returns for the derby. Kick-off 12pm.
