City boss Peter Taylor could be in serious trouble for this weekends crucial home clash against Ipswich.

City have Muzzy Izzet doubtful due to an ankle injury, Andrew Impey is struggling with his knee as is Callum Davidson, Dean Sturridge who has pulled his hamstring, Stefan Oakes has shin problems while Arnar Gunnlaugsson attempts to get his thigh right intime for Saturday. Trevor Benjamin also has trouble with his calf.

Long term injuries have also been suffered by Gerry Taggart who is still recovering from knee surgery, Gary Rowett who has recently undergone a cartilage operation and Darren Eadie who is out for the season while he attempts to right his troublesome knee through surgery.

Dennis Wise is suspended after his red card against Arsenal two weeks ago and will also miss this weekends clash.

City also have several players on International duty which could add to City's injury woes if any of them pick up knocks while flying the flag for their respective countries.

Both Robbie Savage and Matt Jones are on duty for Wales while Frank Sinclair is with the Jamaican national squad and is not expected back until Friday. Matt Elliott will be helping out with Scotland and Ian Walker will be with England after his surprise call up yesterday.

This has all got Peter Taylor very worried, in fact to the point where he has included youngsters Jordan Stewart, who played against Arsenal, Matthew Heath, Martin Reeves, Matthew Piper and Danny Thomas into the squad.

Taylor told reporters, "It's a very frustrating time for us. The amount of injuries means we've had to draft in several of our younger players.

"As well as the injuries, we will not have several of our senior international players back in training until the Friday before the game."
