Downes Out For Up to Six Weeks - Ipswich Town News
Town midfielder Flynn Downes has been ruled out for between four and six weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday’s 1-0 home victory over Plymouth.
Downes was replaced after 36 minutes of the game against the Pilgrims with what a scan has shown to be a grade two strain on his right leg.
The 22-year-old has had a frustrating stop-start season having been left out to clear his head in the early stages following the transfer interest from Premier League Crystal Palace, before suffering a knee injury soon after his return.
