Blues boss Kieran McKenna has confirmed that full-back Brandon Williams will be continuing his loan at Portman Road during the second half of the season but won’t return from parent club Manchester United for another 10 days or a fortnight at most.
Williams, 23, returned to Old Trafford earlier this month for assessment having suffered with illness and injury in the months prior to Christmas after making a promising start to the campaign.
"We're happy that that decision has been reached,” McKenna said. "He's still at United. He's probably going to be there for another 10 days, two weeks maximum while he finishes off his recovery.
"But we're hopeful then that we'll get back a Brandon Williams in a better place from a physical point of view and we know that that can be a big addition to the group, and he can again hopefully help us in the last stages of the season.”
