Ipswich Town are still waiting to find out the full extent of the ankle injury sustained by Gavin Williams during Saturday's pre-season clash with Panathinaikos.

The 27-year-old was carried off during the second half of the game at Portman Road, amid fears that he had broken his ankle.

However, Town physio Matt Byard told the club's official website: "The X-ray showed no bone injury to Gavin's left ankle but he has ligament damage.

"The ankle is very swollen and he will have an MRI scan later this week as soon as the swelling settles down.

"The result of the MRI scan will give us a much clearer idea of what the injury is and how long he will be out for."

Williams has been with Town for just under two years, but he has made only 45 appearances due to a string of injury problems.
