Downes Out News Today

Town boss Paul Lambert has revealed that midfielder Flynn Downes will be out for three months with the knee injury he suffered in Saturday’s away game at the MK Dons, while left-back Stephen Ward is likely to miss the weekend visit to Blackpool with the achilles problem he picked up at Stadium MK.

Flynn Downes was red-carded twice with the U18s last season, an experience he is doing his best to avoid now he has graduated to first-team level.
