Ipswich midfielder Azor Matusiwa will miss their Championship match at home to Charlton on Tuesday (19:45 BST) because of suspension.

The 27-year-old picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in Friday's 2-1 loss at Middlesbrough.

"It's a loss, especially in the home games he's been growing into the team and going from strength to strength but it is what it is, in the Championship you're always liable to pick up yellow cards in the middle of the pitch," Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.

Matusiwa, who joined from Rennes in July, has started all nine of their league games this season which means there will be a different look to their midfield.

"It's come a little bit quicker than we wanted but no-one is going to play every minute of every game which is why we have a squad and it'll be a different midfield on Tuesday where boys will want to take their chances and most importantly help the team do well," added McKenna.
