Further forward, Daryl Murphy will start after scoring in each of his three appearances for the club but fellow Sunderland loanee David Healy may be dropped after a fruitless evening at London Road.
Pablo Counago is favourite to partner Murphy at the weekend as Keane's side face a third of four consecutive away games.
Ipswich slid into the bottom three with Reading's win at Crystal Palace on Wednesday night and need a positive result against Alan Irvine's side.
Keane's only injury concerns are goalkeeper Richard Wright, who is close to a return from his knee injury, and winger Luciano Civelli, who will not be back until September.
