On-Loan Edwards Out Until New Year - Ipswich Town News
On-loan Blues winger Kyle Edwards is out until the new year with a hamstring injury.
Edwards, 25, is with Oxford United for the 2023/24 campaign but so far has made only four starts and two sub appearances, scoring twice due to fitness issues.
"There’s a bit of a setback with Kyle, so we’ve sent him for another scan, just to make sure we’re clear on what that is,” head coach Des Buckingham told the Oxford Mail.
"He’s probably another one we’re not going to see until the new year as well, so not great news for both of those [Edwards and Marcus Browne] and for the group.
"We’ve seen the impact that both of them have, and how good they can be when they play in this league and in this system.
"We’ll work with them to make sure we get them back to where they need to be, and I’m sure they’ll have a good impact.
"It’s important now we make use of our squad and that the other players step up and get opportunities, so we continue doing what we have been doing.”

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
