Mick McCarthy is confident Dean Gerken will be available for Saturday’s trip to Bolton but he does have injury concerns over Daryl Murphy.

Gerks was substituted before half-time during last weekend’s defeat by Burnley after sustaining a dead leg but was back on the training field this morning.

“I think he will be fine for Saturday,” the Town boss told the Club website. 

“He did a bit of work with Mally [Malcolm Webster, goalkeeping coach] and the other ‘keepers this morning. 

“He didn’t get involved in the main stuff but he should be fine for Bolton. 

“Daryl has tweaked his groin though. We will have to see how he is but hopefully he will be okay.”
