Andrews may be forced into Rovers return as injury dents transfer hopes

REPUBLIC of IRELAND midfielder Keith Andrews will be out of action for five weeks after tearing a hamstring in Ipswich’s St Stephen’s Day 1-1 draw at Leicester City — which could put his hopes of a January transfer in jeopardy.

The midfielder slipped as he went for a header in an incident, which saw him replaced just before the break at the King Power Stadium.

Andrews could have played his last match for the Tractor Boys, with his half-season loan from Blackburn up after Monday’s home game against Nottingham Forest.
