Bishop Scan Today - Ipswich Town News

Blues midfielder Teddy Bishop is undergoing a scan today to discover the extent of the knee injury he suffered in the friendly with SV Meppen at the Interwetten Cup on Sunday.

The 23-year-old landed awkwardly as he came out of a challenge in the 33rd minute of the 45-minute match and after treatment was immediately substituted.

Another injury is the last thing Bishop needs having had his longest uninterrupted spell since his 2014/15 breakthrough season having returned to the first team in January.

Up until his enforced replacement the academy product had been Town’s most influential player against Meppen, who eventually won the match 3-1 on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

The results of the scan may not be known immediately and fans will have their fingers crossed that the injury proves less serious than feared.
