Haynes a Doubt - Ipswich Town News

Derby day hero Danny Haynes is a doubt ahead of Saturday's home game with Burnley due to the ankle injury he sustained in Town's glorious 2-1 victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road on Sunday. The 18-year-old has had a scan and, although there is no break, the problem requires treatment.

Haynes told the club site: "I've had the scans and the ankle isn't broken, but there is the possibility that there might be ligament damage.

"I've got to wear a support for a few days and then the physio team will have a look at it again on Wednesday.

"I felt it at first when their defender came across to make a challenge as I went to have a shot. It was painful, although it didn't hurt as much when I scored and went to celebrate!"

Physio Dave Williams added: "We will know more in the next 48 hours.

"There's no break but ligament damage is a possible cause and he must be rated as doubtful for the weekend."
