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.”

The injury is a significant blow for Ireland manager Heimir Halgrímsson, who is set to name his next squad on 7 November ahead of Nations League games against Finland (14 November) and England (17 November).
Elsewhere, Robbie Brady went off injured after half an hour of Preston North End’s 3-3 Championship draw at Plymouth Argyle.
