Drissa Recovery Continues - Ipswich Town News
Defender Drissa Diallo is continuing his recovery from the hamstring injury which has kept him out of action since before Christmas. The Guinean international, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has been making progress in recent weeks.
Physio Dave Williams told the club site: "Drissa is coming along steadily but it's a case of step by step at the moment.
"We will be reassessing his situation at the end of the week to see where we go from there, but all the reports on his progress have been encouraging.
"It's too early to start looking at a date for his return to training, though. We will have more of an idea next week."
