Smith Back After Break - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Roy Keane says he hopes central defender Tommy Smith will be back in action after the international break which follows next Saturday’s game at Reading. Smith injured his hand in training towards the end of last week and missed Saturday’s victory over Derby.
Keane told the club site: "Tommy his hand in the last seconds of a practice match on Thursday.
"It was a nasty injury with two fingers dislocated and one of the bones coming through his hand, so we had to take him straight to hospital.
"He had the operation on the Thursday night and will be out for two or three weeks. It's a blow because he's being doing well for us. He's a tough lad though, and hopefully he will be back after the international break is over."
