Injured O\'Connor Hungry for More First Team Action - Ipswich Town News
Shane O’Connor says his recent return to first team action has made him hungrier to get over his shoulder injury and get back into the side. O’Connor dislocated and ruptured a shoulder joint in training on Christmas Eve having made his first start since August against Leicester the previous Saturday.
The 20-year-old told the club site: "You just have to keep going. I've had setbacks before. I think I am used to them. Now I think I've got over a hurdle before, proved someone wrong before, and I'll do it again.
"The knocks have toughened me up. I think the setbacks I've had have made me a better player. To get back in the team recently just makes me hungrier to do it again when I'm fit."
The injury is expected to keep the Irishman out of action for around six weeks.
