No Breaks for Pair - Ipswich Town News
Scans have shown that injured duo Owen Garvan and Kevin Horlock did not break any bones during last night's 2-2 draw with Coventry. Garvan was forced off early on with an ankle problem, while Horlock came off at the break with injured rubs.
Physio Matt Byard told the club site: "They have both had scans this morning and there is no fracture with either of them.
"We didn't expect there to be a problem in that respect with Owen, it was more a precaution.
"He has a sprain to his left ankle and won't train on Thursday, nor Friday I would think. He has to be very doubtful for the weekend.
"Kevin has taken a knock to his lower ribs and it will be a case of how it goes over the next 48 hours. Rib injuries need rest more than anything else and again, at this stage, he has to be a big concern for the Watford game."

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.
