'It's a bad one' - Ogbene suffers suspected Achilles injury
IPSWICH BOSS KIERAN McKenna has confirmed Chiedozie Ogbene looks set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
The Ireland forward went down with a non-contact injury during Ipswich’s 4-3 defeat at Brentford today, before leaving the pitch on a stretcher.
Speaking after the game, McKenna said the early indications were that the 27-year-old had torn his Achilles.
“It is a bad one,” McKenna said.
“We think Chieo has torn his Achilles. We’ll need to see, but he’s going to be out for a period of time.”
