McKenna: Illness Has Pretty Much Cleared - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Kieran McKenna says the Blues’ illness woes finally appear to be over ahead of Saturday’s huge top-of-the-table game against Plymouth Argyle at Portman Road, while no one has suffered a new injury.
The Town squad had been hit by the flu bug throughout the Christmas period with players missing games and training with virtually everyone having been affected at some point.
But McKenna says things have been much better this week: "We’re doing OK, no big changes. On illnesses thankfully Tuesday was one of the first times I’ve been able to really enjoy training and not hear players coughing and spluttering.
"We’ve pretty much cleared that now and the players have looked all the better for it and no major issues picked up over the week so far, so we’re in a good position.”
Janoi Donacien was forced off ill at half-time at Lincoln and then wasn’t in the squad for last Saturday’s 4-1 FA Cup defeat of Rotherham but McKenna says the defender is now OK: "He’s trained this week, he’s fine.”
