Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has revealed that he will not be sending out Tyrone Mings on a loan deal.
Mings has been restricted to limited playing time this season due to the form of fellow full-back Aaron Cresswell, but McCarthy insists that he cannot afford to allow the 20-year-old to leave on a temporary basis.
"Ty's great, but he's a little bit frustrated because he's playing behind the best left-back in the league and he can't get a game," the Ipswich boss told The Green Un.
"He's busting his gut to play, he trains well every day, he's just getting a little bit frustrated. I've had that conversation with him. It's hard for him.
"I would love to say, 'Go and have some meaningful games on loan, I've got somebody else to fill in for you', but I haven't. I would love to do it for him because he deserves to be playing in somebody's team. I just can't at this moment in time."
Ipswich are currently ninth in the Championship.
