Bramble on Injury - Ipswich Town News

Titus Bramble is hoping that yesterday's decision to pull out of the England U21 squad will allow him to get himself fit for Town's games with Crewe and Everton. The defender said he had been having problems with his achilles since the end of last season and hopes to avoid surgery.

Bramble was unhappy that he had to withdraw from the U21s: "I'm really upset about not being able to play but I have to make sure the injury recovers. It is really disappointing but I wouldn't be able to do myself justice."

Bramble says he will have to be patient and let the injury clear up in its own time.
