Injured midfielder Luciano Civelli has set himself a target of a return to playing football before Christmas. The Argentinian has been out of action since damaging knee ligaments in the home game with Burnley back in March.

The 22-year-old told the club site: "I am running every day and feel happy with the progress I am making.

“I am seeing the specialist soon and hopefully he will say that my knee is fine to start doing exercises with the ball and increase my running to a quicker pace.

"I feel I am improving all the time. In two months I hope to be training with my team-mates. That is the target for me. After that, I want to be back playing football again before Christmas."

Civelli says he immediately knew his problem was serious: "I knew it was a bad injury when I went down. I have never had a feeling in my knee like that before.

"The first month or so was hard, but I have always remained positive and now I can look forward to playing again as quickly as possible."

Civelli made eight appearances for the Blues last season after signing from Banfield in his home country for a fee of around £1.1 million.

marcusevans added 17:53 - Sep 7 Stop squabbling children and back the boys. Wish Luc a speedy recovery as he has been through professional hell in a foreign country. Dan Knott must support the green and yellows in the division below us.

Greektractor added 18:36 - Sep 7 Hopefully geo's new g/f likes the weather in ipswich. Seriously though, the only chance of us seeing him at p/r again is playing against us. He's not coming back :-(. Danknott you dingbat. Y would you come onto a fans website as a fan and start an argument with all the other fans? Also, noticed how u refered to everyone else as boy's. I think your target audience has become pretty clear.

tractorboybig added 19:31 - Sep 7 8 game player lets judge him after 10-15 games. Trouble with most town supporters is any name not playing in the team at the moment seems to bring us promotion.
