Nash Nearly Back

Ipswich Town defender Gerard Nash is nearly fully recovered from a cruciate ligament injury, that ruled him for the past 9 months.

The Ireland youth international had surgery for the injury at the start of the year and after a 9 month lay off he is expected to have part of a game for the reserve side in the coming weeks.

Nash has said that: “I have been back running and training now for a while and the next step is to play for the reserves, The knee feels fine and I am training normally now.

“I had to get through the psychological side of things, taking a knock on the knee, things like that but there was never really a problem and now I'm raring to go.

“Hopefully I will get a run out for the reserves either next week or the week after.”.

Nash has made one appearance for town that against Burnley in the 6-1 home win last October.
