No Break for Matt - Ipswich Town News

Town skipper Matt Holland has had a scan on his continually injured ankle and has discovered, to his relief, that he has no serious problem.

The Town skipper is off to London to day to see a specialist to find out exactly what is causing the problem. Holland said: "Hopefully I can get the all-clear to get back to training tomorrow. There's no serious damage, no bone crack or anything like that. It looks as though it is just some bone bruising and swelling around a joint."

The Town skipper will be hoping to extend his run of 171 consecutive matches at Leeds on Saturday.
