Ipswich Town could be without two key players as they prepare for a crucial clash against Manchester United. Sitting deep in the bottom half of the Premier League table, the Tractor Boys are in desperate need of a turnaround to revive their fading survival hopes.
With each passing week and every defeat, Ipswich’s chances of staying in the top flight have gone from realistic to increasingly unlikely. Now five points adrift of safety, they are winless in 10 league games, with their last victory coming in a shock result against Chelsea back in December.
Manager Kieran McKenna provided an update on the injury concerns, stating: “It looks like, hopefully, neither is a very, very serious injury. But they’re still getting some scans and assessments. Honestly, I don’t think we can rule anything in or out. They’re getting scans this morning, and we’ll know more this afternoon.”
Both Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste now face a race against time to regain fitness ahead of the Old Trafford showdown. Phillips, in particular, finds himself in a frustrating situation.

After struggling for minutes at Manchester City, he was beginning to find his rhythm with Ipswich, starting three of their last four league games, before suffering another setback.
With just 12 Premier League games remaining, Ipswich will soon need to decide on a permanent move for Phillips. While his future at Portman Road remains uncertain, his recent improvement has sparked hope of a summer transfer—whether to Ipswich or another club.
Before any long-term decisions are made, Phillips’ immediate focus will be on recovery and helping Ipswich fight for their Premier League survival in what would be a remarkable turnaround.
