On-Loan Baggott Makes Return From Injury - Ipswich Town News
On-loan Blues centre-half Elkan Baggott made his first League One appearance since August for Blackpool in Saturday’s 2-2 home draw with Huddersfield.
The 22-year-old Indonesia international came off the bench in first-half injury time, replacing former Blues loanee Matt Pennington, who had picked up a knock.
Baggott was making only his third league appearance for the Seasiders having suffered an ankle injury in August and then a thigh problem in November after a 45-minute return an EFL Trophy tie.
The Colchester-raised defender, whose Town contract is up this summer but with the club having an option for a further year, is on a season-long loan at Bloomfield Road.

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.
