Ipswich Town: Kieran McKenna on Leif Davis injury blow
Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna revealed star left back Leif Davis is in a protective boot after suffering an injury in the win at Sheffield Wednesday yesterday.
Davis limped off moments after he’d assisted Conor Chaplin’s opener with a cool cut-back at Hillsborough, apparently unable to put weight on his right leg.
“I haven’t had a medical report yet,” said McKenna, when asked about the influential left-back post-match.

“I saw him at half-time, he’s landed on his ankle, twisted it and got stood on at the same time – that’s usually not a great mixture.
“He’s in a boot. It’s a case of seeing how it is over the next 24 hours.”
He continued: “When you have to make an early change like that you lose one of your stoppages.
“That made it tricky in the second half. Wes (Burns) needed to come off as he was feeling really, really tight in his hamstring on 70 minutes or whatever it was.
“It meant more players than we would have wanted had to play the full 90 minutes. We’ll have to assess how everyone is now for Tuesday (at Southampton).”
