The former Northern Ireland International was forced from the field of play in Saturday's clash against Nottingham Forest at Portman Road with a leg problem with 15 minutes to go with Finn Shefki Kuqi replacing him.
However Town boss Joe Royle feels he will be fit in time for the trip to Sheffield: "He has stud marks on his thigh but it's not serious and he should be OK for our trip to Sheffield United next Friday evening." he said on Saturday evening.
