McKenna gives latest update on injured Ipswich star

Kieran McKenna says Leif Davis remains a doubt for Tuesday’s huge clash against Southampton after missing the goalless draw with West Brom.

Ipswich remain second in the Championship, level on points with Millwall in third but having a game in hand – Tuesday’s match.

““He wasn’t on the bus and if you’re close you tend to be on the bus and he’s back in Suffolk,” the Ipswich boss said on Davis’ absence. “Still a doubt [for Tuesday] but not impossible, so we’ll assess it over the weekend.”

Reflecting on Saturday’s draw, McKenna said: “You don’t know whether it’s a good point. I’ll tell you that next Sunday.

“But it was always going to be tough. I’ve said it many times, it’s a brutal division. The margins between the teams, West Brom are a really good team, the gap between them and teams in the play-off positions, or fighting for the play-off positions, for me is really nothing, which is why they can go on a 10-game unbeaten run and keep seven clean sheets. That’s how tight the margins are.”
