Joe Ralls, pulled his groin last Friday up at the Vale.
Ryan Giles, had been "coughing and spluttering" in the build-up to the Forest match and such is life in a Covid world, he was also left at home.
Leandro Bacuna limped off before Forest game began and hopefully the results will show him ok later today.
Thankfully Mick McCarthy said:”We have plenty of strength in depth in this squad and we are not hindered by the injuries.”

The Opposition's Manager - Mark Robins
Mark Robins has been in charge of Coventry since 2017. He guided them to promotion from League Two in 2018 and then got them promoted back to the Championship in 2020. They also won the EFL Trophy on 2017. He succesfully kept them in the Championship last season.
He had previously been manager of Coventry between 2012 and 2013.
He has also held managerial roles at Rotherham, Barnsley, Huddersfield and Scunthorpe.
As a player, he was best known for scoring a goal for Manchester United in the FA Cup that reportedly saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job in 1990.
