Naylor Surgery Date Set - Ipswich Town News

Central defender Richard Naylor will undergo neck surgery in early April and will miss the rest of the season. Naylor won't be back in action until pre-season for 2008/09.

Physio Matt Byard told the club site: "We let the neck settle down again to see if there was any improvement, but surgery is now the next step for Richard.

"He will have an operation in early April and we are looking at three months rehab from there, so hopefully he should be back for pre-season training."
