Midfielder Monty Patterson, who was stretchered off during last night’s 2-1 U21s win at Leeds, is set to undergo a scan this afternoon.

The New Zealand U23 international, who had come on as a sub, fell awkwardly and was treated for several minutes on the pitch before being stretchered off in the 63rd minute with what reports suggested may be a broken leg.

Patterson, 18, has travelled back to Suffolk and will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury.

Blues physio Matt Byard told the club website: “Monty is back with us and we will know more after the scan later today.”

brian_a_mul added 14:42 - Aug 11 The guy has talent and had a great summer with New Zealand, banged in a few goals. I'm sure he would have been looking to push on himself this season. Wishing him a speedy recovery, hope to see u back in action very soon.
