Wright Making Progress - Ipswich Town News

Keeper Richard Wright hopes to get back into full training in a month’s time as he continues his recovery from the knee ligament injury he suffered at Cardiff in November. Wright is ahead of schedule, having been expected to be out of action for four months.

The former England keeper has been doing some light training but told the club site that he’s looking forward to getting back into more serious action: "It's going well and I'm aiming to be back working on the training ground fully with the rest of the group in four weeks.

"Any injury is frustrating but I'm making progress and I can't wait to get going again."

The 32-year-old is out of contract with Town at the end of the season, having returned to Portman Road in the summer of 2008 after spells with Arsenal, Everton and West Ham.
