Ipswich’s Axel Tuanzebe faces layoff after freak accident while washing up
Defender suffered deep cut to hand while doing dishesSwift medical response and operation saved his thumb
The Ipswich defender Axel Tuanzebe faces a spell on the sidelines after a horror accident that put him at risk of losing a thumb.
Tuanzebe missed the promoted side’s 4-1 defeat at West Ham on Saturday with an unspecified hand injury that his manager, Kieran McKenna, revealed had required surgery. It has since emerged that the right-back was badly injured in a domestic incident in which his hand was lacerated while washing up.
