Knudsen Could Miss Rest of Season - Ipswich Town News
Left-back Jonas Knudsen could miss the final six games of the season due to the shoulder injury which kept him out of last night’s 3-0 home victory over Wigan Athletic.
"He's damaged his shoulder, it looks like he'll need an operation,” manager Mick McCarthy told BBC Radio Suffolk after the match.
"He could rest it for three or four weeks and come back, but we've got six games to play.
"The last thing I want is to bring him back in the last game and he gets injured and misses the start of pre-season."
Centre-half Steven Taylor could also miss the remainder of the campaign having suffered a recurrence of his hamstring injury in the first half last night.
Meanwhile, McCarthy says he believes there’s "every chance” that the Blues will receive enquiries about keeper Bartosz Bialkowski the summer, a number of clubs having shown interest in the former Polish U21 international in January.
"I've already bigged him up as the best in the league,” he added. "We've got him under contract, but we all know if a huge offer comes in from a big club, then it's difficult to stop it if it's the right deal. Let's hope not."
