Injury hope for Town striker

Injured Ipswich Town striker Jon Walters could return to action before the end of the season.
The club's leading scorer has been out of action since damaging knee cartilage at the beginning of the month.
However, despite being told he now requires surgery, the 12-goal marksman is likely to make a comeback before the campaign is over.
"We wanted to give Jon the weekend to see if the knee showed any signs of settling down, but as we expected there has been no improvement," physio Matt Byard told the club's official website.
"He is now booked in for surgery and we will have more idea of a return date after the operation.
"You are normally looking at six weeks though, which means he could be back for the last game of the season."
