Gaardsøe Rated 50/50 - Ipswich Town News
Town central defender Thomas Gaardsøe is rated as 50/50 ahead of Town's vital Portman Road clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Gaardsøe picked up a groin injury during the first half of Saturday's win at Gillingham. Manager Joe Royle told the club site that he could be without his Danish linchpin on Saturday: "The fact that it was bad enough for him to be forced off shows you that it could be a problem.
"He will continue to have treatment but at this stage I would say his chances can be no higher than 50/50."
