Top goalscorer Armand Gnanduillet ruled out of Blackpool's clash against Ipswich Town through injury

The Frenchman has missed Blackpool's last two games with a hamstring strain he suffered in the recent defeat to Bristol Rovers.

While the 28-year-old has returned to training this week, Dunn says he's not willing to risk his star striker picking up another knock.

“Armand is back running, he’s back on the grass", the caretaker boss said.

“He’s coming along nicely but what we can’t afford to do is risk him, because we want him for the rest of the season and not just one game.”

The Seasiders have no fresh injury concerns, with Jak Alnwick (arm) and Sullay Kaikai (groin/abductor) the only other absentees through injury.

Dunn's charges have had to train at Blackpool and Fylde College this week in preparation for tomorrow's game against Ipswich due to the weather rendering Squires Gate unplayable.

“The lads are fine and training has been really sharp," Dunn added.

“It’s tough to get on the training ground at the minute because of how much rain we’ve had.

“But luckily we’re in a good community here and we’ve got a lot of people that want to help and want the club to do well.

“The local college has been excellent in terms of letting us use their facilities, so we’ve made the best of a bad situation.

“The surface at the college is excellent so we’re really thankful to them as well.”

Ipswich will also be without their leading two goalscorers tomorrow, with Kayden Jackson suspended and James Norwood out through injury.

The Tractor Boys have slipped down to ninth in the League One table following a run of four defeats in six.
