Ipswich's Philogene suffers injury setback — and more

Ipswich Town forward Jaden Philogene will miss Saturday's Championship match at Wrexham (15:00 GMT) after suffering a setback in his recovery from a knee injury.

The 24-year-old has missed Ipswich's past five games since being forced off in the first half of their 3-0 Championship win over Blackburn Rovers on 17 January.

"He's had a little setback, unfortunately, when he tried to train with the group, so we're not exactly sure on timescale, but he won't be available this weekend and has had to take step back, which is a disappointment," head coach Kieran McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"It's not a serious one but the last stages of the rehab on those can be really tricky. You can get to a certain point almost training or almost non-contact training, but sometimes it can catch you and run on longer than you hoped."

McKenna has been given better news on midfielder Marcelino Nunez, who will travel with the squad to north Wales, having missed four games with an ankle injury.

But another forward, Wes Burns, remains sidelined along with Philogene after suffering a groin injury in the 2-1 win at Derby a fortnight ago.

Ipswich are currently fourth in the Championship table, seven points adrift of the automatic promotion places.

Kansas Jayhawks star Darryn Peterson went off in the team's Wednesday night road victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The problem? He only lasted 18 minutes. During the second half, Peterson pointed to the Kansas bench to be taken out of the game with 17:42 remaining in the second half due to cramping, ending the freshman's night. Jayhawks head coach Bill Self spoke on the matter after the game. "We've had it happen [Peterson get hurt] more than a couple of times. I didn't anticipate that tonight at all," Self said in his postgame press conference about Peterson leaving the Jayhawks' 81-69 win over the Cowboys. "I thought he was good to go, but, obviously, we only got 18 minutes out of him. That's disappointing because he could've had a really big night, but one thing about it is it's happened often enough that our guys have learned to play without him, even though that's not the way we want to play. But that's certainly something that we're not unaccustomed to right now." Peterson has missed 11 games this season due to a combination of hamstring, quad, ankle and cramping issues, while also missing time due to illness. Wednesday night was one of multiple instances where Peterson has checked himself out of a game. "It's a concern," Self said about Peterson, according to ESPN. "I thought we were past it, but obviously we're not. It's certainly a concern. "You get into the NCAA tournament, you're playing a team just as good as you and you need to have all your best players available, so to speak. All it takes is for one day like that to derail not only a game, but a season. "It's concerning, but I do think we're making progress with it." When Peterson has been on the floor, he has dazzled. Despite his night ending early, Peterson still finished Wednesday with a game-high 23 points on 7 of 12 shooting from the field, 6 of 10 shooting from behind the arc and 3 of 4 shooting from the charity stripe. Across the 15 games that he has appeared in this season, Peterson, a potential top-five pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, is averaging 20.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.9 minutes per game, while shooting 48.5/43.1/79.5. The No. 8-ranked Jayhawks are 20-6 overall and 10-3 in Big 12 play, good for fourth in the conference.
