McGoldrick Facing Another Spell on the Sidelines - Ipswich Town News
Town striker David McGoldrick is set for another spell on the sidelines after picking up an ankle injury in Tuesday’s EFL Cup defeat to Stevenage.
We understand the striker suffered an ankle ligament injury shortly after coming on as a half-time sub against Boro and is thought likely to be out for at least six weeks.
[Edit] However, surgery and a longer absence has not yet been ruled out. The former Nottingham Forest and Southampton man is set to see a specialist on Monday.[/Edit]
The latest injury is a big blow for the 28-year-old, who has picked up a succession of injuries in the last few seasons, largely unrelated to one another.
Town boss Mick McCarthy acted quickly to add to his squad, re-signing Luke Varney on a short-term contract.
