Fab's Foot Not Broken - Ipswich Town News

Fabian Wilnis has received some good news regarding the foot injury which saw him substituted at half-time during Saturday's game at Selhurst Park. A scan has shown that the Dutchman hasn't suffered a broken bone, although he is still considered a doubt for Saturday's home game with Leicester City.

Wilnis told the club site: "It's lucky that it was at the top of my foot and not lower down because I think that would have meant a break.

"I took my boot off at half-time and my foot was bruised and swollen and there was no way I could carry on.

"The physio team say it's badly bruised and we will have to see how it progresses during the week.

"I have done some swimming but could feel it then, although jogging is not really a problem. I can't kick a ball though, that is painful.

"Hopefully, I will be OK for the weekend. I have just got back in the side and, with the defenders we have here, you know that if are out for a while it can be hard to get back in the team."

Leicester have had bad news on skipper Paddy McCarthy. The defender will be out of action for the Foxes' next two matches after dislocating a shoulder in training.
