The Ipswich defender Axel Tuanzebe faces a spell on the sidelines after a horror accident that put him at risk of losing a thumb.
Tuanzebe missed the promoted side’s 4-1 defeat at West Ham on Saturday with an unspecified hand injury that his manager, Kieran McKenna, revealed had required surgery. It has since emerged that the right-back was badly injured in a domestic incident in which his hand was lacerated while washing up.
