McKenna and Ipswich Town are face with serious injury blow as club is yet to discover the extent key player’s injury

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna says the degree of Leif Davis’ injury is unknown following yesterday’s 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.
Ipswich Town won their sixth Championship game of the season Sunday, defeating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsborough.
Conor Chaplin’s goal just before halftime gave the Tractor Boys all three points, putting McKenna’s side in third position ahead of a midweek trip to Southampton.

However, full-back Davis was forced off the field due to injury in yesterday’s game; Davis assisted on Chaplin’s goal but was taken off soon after.

And, when asked about the 23-year-old’s injury, Town manager McKenna said:

“We don’t know how bad Davis’ injury is yet, but he’s in a boot.” He rolled and then had his ankle stepped on, which is never a good combination.

“He was excellent in the first half, and we’ll see how he is, but Brandon [Williams] came into the team and showed real toughness, which helped us see out the result.”

Davis, a former Leeds United player, was instrumental in Ipswich’s promotion from League One last season, appearing 43 times and producing 14 assists; his assist in yesterday’s game was his second of the season.
