Ipswich Town face an anxious wait to discover the severity of Kieffer Moore’s injury. The striker was forced off in the first half of their absorbing 3-2 victory over Southampton on Easter Monday.
Moore, on loan from Bournemouth until the end of the season, has been a key man for the Tractor Boys in their push for promotion. Tractor Boys boss Kieran McKenna said: “I haven’t had the medical report. He got a firm hit in his back. I think it all locked up, so that’s not great. We’ll have to see how he is over the next few days.”
Town ended the Easter programme top of the Championship, a point clear of Leeds United with six matches left to play. They have won nine of their last 10 matches to raise hopes of securing back-to-back promotions.
On their thrilling victory over Southampton, McKenna said: “It was another brilliant day. It was really high level match to be involved in. It was two teams that did so many good things. When you win it with a last minute winner like that it’s a moment to really cherish.
“The winner was a great moment. I think everybody got a little bit lost in it – subs, staff. My radar still thinks there’s 30 seconds still to go and that we have to get organised again. We’ve had it happen to us (conceding twice in stoppage-time at Cardiff), we’ve done it to Rotherham here a month ago (scoring a stoppage-time winner after being pegged back late on). You still have to see the last ball or two out.
“It’s a wonderful moment for everyone involved and one I’m sure everybody will remember for a long time.
“Scoring late is a good habit. It doesn’t happen by chance. I’ve spoken about that before. A lot of work goes into it and it’s a nice way to win a game.”
Next up for the Tractor Boys is a trip to play-off chasing Norwich City. Second-placed United, meanwhile, visit Coventry City on Saturday while Leicester City are at home to Birmingham City.
