Town boss Kieran McKenna says midfielder Massimo Luongo will undergo a scan on the ankle injury which ruled him out of this evening’s 2-1 home victory over Sunderland.

The Australian was set to start the game against the Black Cats until suffering the knock in training.

“He rolled his ankle in a really unfortunate incident on Thursday,” McKenna said. “He’ll be having scans this week to see the severity.

“We hope that it’s not very severe but certainly there’s some swelling and he was nowhere near it for tonight.”

Marinersnose added 08:50 - Jan 14 Massimo is the player we miss most of all in midfield as he always wants the ball and plays on the half turn starting attacks. I’m hoping that his absence will be short. Travis and Taylor did well but they don’t off outlets to the defence in the same way that Mass and Morsy do. I’m sure this is an area McKenna will develop as Hladky Wolfie and Edmundson had nobody coming short and as a result they were holding the ball too long and occasionally getting caught out. Speedy recovery Mass.

algarvefan added 09:57 - Jan 14 Well if Travis's performance was anything to go buy, we have a very able deputy signed, it seems, just at the right time. I hope the injury isn't too bad, speedy recovery Mass.
