Wright Out for a Fortnight - Ipswich Town News

Full-back David Wright says he is worried that he could be out of action for two weeks after suffering what appears to be a recurrence of his hamstring injury during Saturday's 3-0 FA Cup victory over Chesterfield. Wright limped off during the second half.

The former Crewe and Wigan man told the club site: "It's obviously very disappointing, having just come back. I felt some stiffness with the hamstring 10 minutes or so before I came off but hoped it would ease.

"I will have to see what our medical people say, but I reckon I will be out for a couple of weeks at least."

Meanwhile, Town skipper Gareth McAuley says the Blues need to continue their winning run after two victories in a row against Derby and Chesterfield: "It wasn't a very high tempo performance from us up until half-time, but after that the pressure started to build and I began to feel comfortable.

"We've won two games in a row and kept two clean sheets, but now we've got to apply ourselves and keep things going for another tough game against Sheffield Wednesday next Saturday.”
