Mings Linked With Town Loan Return - Ipswich Town News

Former Town left-back Tyrone Mings is being linked with a return to the Blues on loan as he continues his recovery from the double cruciate knee ligament injury which ended his first season in the Premier League with AFC Bournemouth prematurely.

The 23-year-old suffered the injury minutes into his top flight debut for the Cherries following his £8 million move from the Blues last summer, having previously featured in a Capital One Cup tie.

Mings is now closing in on his return to action and, according to talkSPORT, the Blues could be among the leading candidates to take him on loan with Bournemouth understood to be willing to send him out for a spell while he gets back to full fitness.

Speculation that Mings could be returning to Portman Road began circulating on the TWTD Forum earlier in the week but the link has been dismissed by Town sources with Jonas Knudsen the Blues’ first choice left-back and youngster Myles Kenlock having been challenged to push the Danish international for his place by manager Mick McCarthy.
