Ipswich dealt Hyam blow

Ipswich boss Roy Keane has been dealt a blow with the news that defender Luke Hyam may be out for up to five weeks through injury.

The news comes as a further setback for Keane, who has also had Mark Kennedy ruled out for three weeks. Both players suffered hamstring injuries during the defeat against Barnsley last weekend.

"It looks like Luke will be out for around about five weeks," Keane told the club's official website. "It`s the first hamstring injury he has had, and he couldn`t gauge whether he had torn it or not, and I can understand that. Credit to the lad though, he played on, and I admire that."
