Further Owen Blow

Ipswich Town midfielder Owen Garvan looks set to be out for at least another two weeks with a damaged ankle.

The youngster picked up the injury last month against Coventry and it was hoped he would be fit in time for the return fixture this Saturday, it now appears that is not the case.

 

Town physio Dave Williams: "Owen has seen Mark Bowditch, the specialist we use for lower limb injuries and he's had a good look at the ankle.

 

“It's been scanned again and the sprain is grade 2 rather than the grade 1 which we had hoped for.

 

“There is also a slight chip to the bone but that is only minor and Mark isn't concerned about that at all. With Owen's age, the bone is not yet fully mature anyway.

 

“We're probably looking at Owen being back playing again in two to four weeks the way things stand.”
