Kourouma's Injury Not Serious - Ipswich Town News
Prospective signing Cheick Kourouma will be out of action for three weeks with the knee injury he suffered in training on Monday.
The Frenchman, who has so far been prevented from signing for Town due to red tape relating to his former clubs, had a scan on Monday and received what was considered good news.
"Luckily enough it’s not too bad,” revealed boss Paul Jewell. "We think it’ll probably be about three weeks. He’s just nicked his medial ligament and it’s not as bad as we thought.”

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
