Injury is expected to keep on loan Town winger absent till the start of the next year

Kyle Edwards, a winger for Ipswich Town on loan, will not play until the new year.

Edwards signed for Oxford United on the summer transfer deadline, and in four outings across all competitions, he has scored two goals.

After sustaining a hamstring injury in training at the end of September, he was able to play in the last 25 minutes of Des Buckingham’s first game as manager on November 25 against Cheltenham Town.

The 25-year-old was then left off of the matchday squad against Grimsby on Saturday after starting but only playing the first half of their goalless draw at home against Bolton Wanderers.
