Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna expressed concern over the condition of star left-back Leif Davis, who sustained an injury during the team’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Hull City last night. Despite contributing his 18th assist of the season, leading the Championship by three in that category, Davis suffered what seemed to be a non-contact injury late in the game, forcing him to leave the field with less than ten minutes remaining. Subsequently, Harry Clarke replaced him, leaving Town fans hoping for a swift recovery and no serious repercussions.
With only two crucial games left in the season – Coventry away on Tuesday night and Huddersfield at home on Saturday lunchtime – Ipswich Town aims to secure back-to-back promotions, marking their return to the Premier League after nearly twenty-five years. The potential absence of Davis for these pivotal matches would undoubtedly pose a significant setback for the team’s aspirations.
Addressing concerns about Davis post-match, McKenna commented on the severity of the situation, stating, “He’s limping pretty heavily. He rolled his ankle. It’s an issue he’s had before. We’ll have to assess him over the next few days.” The uncertainty surrounding Davis’s injury status adds tension to Ipswich Town’s final push for promotion, with hopes pinned on his swift recovery for the crucial fixtures ahead.
