Ipswich Town attacking midfielder Sammie Szmodics is fit for Coventry City this weekend after recovering from knee surgery, confirmed by Kieran McKenna.
Ipswich Town fought tooth and nail to stay in the Premier League earlier this year. They fought valiantly and enjoyed some memorable moments, but ultimately fell short and dropped straight back to the championship.
ITFC have since been recruiting heavily in their bid to return to the top flight. January brings opportunities to strengthen further, but another update on a current team member will undoubtedly please Kieran McKenna.
McKenna confirmed this Ahead of this weekend’s match with Coventry City, Sammie Szmodics is fit to play for Ipswich Town. The Tractor Boys have struggled in attack this season and Szmodics’ return will be welcome.
Szmodics has played ten times for ITFC this season, but has yet to score a goal. He has been out for just over a month due to the injury he picked up early in the win over West Brom.
Szmodics’ return could be the key to unlocking Ipswich Town’s attack
The hope will be that Szmodics comes back better than ever after a challenging campaign so far. He has shown flashes of his quality, but he has not yet reached the heights many expected.
Szmodics is a proven goalscorer in the Championship and across the EFL. In his final season at this level he scored 27 goals in 44 league games for the struggling Blackburn Rovers team. earn his move to Ipswich Town ahead of their Premier League campaign.
Now that he is back in the Championship, ITFC will hope he can rediscover that form. A return to his previous levels could be the key to rocketing them right back to the top.

Further injury updates for Ipswich Town as players close in on a return
Ipswich Town have not had their full squad at their disposal since their drop back to the Championship. However, they conclude with having a full roster available, as we had by January.
With Szmodics hopefully he is over all his injuries Unfortunately, he could be back to his best in the coming weeks. Two more players nearing a return are starting goalkeeper Alex Palmer and long-term absentee Wes Burns.
Palmer has been out since suffering a calf injury in the defeat to Charlton Athletic. McKenna confirmed He is training with the group, but will not be fit next weekend.
Burns suffered a cut to his leg during his recent U21 appearance, marking his return from a long-term knee injury. The winger is not currently training with the group, but the hope is that he will train fully again next week, so the setback will be minor.
