JENKINS SUFFERS KNEE INJURY

JORDAN Jenkins faces a period on the sidelines with a knee injury after crashing out of Ipswich’s defeat at Belle Vue last Monday.

The Witches’ Rising Star will miss the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership trip to Oxford on Monday having suffered MCL damage to his left knee, with the full extent being assessed.

Ipswich manager Ritchie Hawkins said: “I had a good chat with Jordan and hopefully it is not too serious, but he needs more tests before he can know the full extent of the damage and then there will be a recovery process.

“It is a big loss because Rising Stars are really difficult to replace, and he is probably the best Rising Star.”
