Ipswich Town defender Damien Delaney will be out for up to three months after undergoing potentially career-saving surgery on a blood clot.

The Irishman, 27, suffered a dead leg when training in the Netherlands on Thursday and had an operation that day and on Monday to remove the clot.

Town manager Roy Keane told BBC Radio Suffolk: "He was very, very lucky.

"There was a lot of bleeding and they had to open up his leg. It could have been the end of his career."

Town were in the Netherlands to face PSV Eindhoven in a friendly on Saturday, a game they lost 1-0.

"Saturday was a really good night for us, PSV were really strong," said Keane.

"They're very experienced and very quick. We missed one or two of our senior players but it's a great opportunity for our younger players and they all did themselves no harm. I'm delighted."

Great. What a thread this is! How does this affect us in anyway. People who do posts like this do my nut in.

I'm sure that Ipswich are a Championship side and that Delaney is ex-QPR so I think this does meet the criteria of this forum:

QPR Chat, Championship, World Cup & Rumours

The fact that one of our ex-players could have died is also newsworthy.

Just think Damien Delaney can rover from a career threatening injury in just 3 months.

Yet we can't even buy 1 quality striker that knows what a goal is about in 3 months.

delany as a CB is a great player in championship. its just a crying shame we never realised this.

i wish mate! just remember a few performances at CB.. one especially against us.. add that with reports from my ipswich supporting mate. he is a shocking left back. but a good centreback.

Hope he recovers soon, spoke sense about Flavio and did a solid job for us
