Eurosport - Fri, 13 Mar 13:58:00 2009

Ipswich have suffered a huge blow after forward Jon Walters was ruled out of the remainder of the season with ruptured ankle ligaments.

FOOTBALL 2008-2009 Championship Ipswich Walters - 0

The 2008 club player of the year picked up the injury during the goalless draw with Championship leaders Wolves and his loss will be a major blow for manager Jim Magilton.

Physio Matt Byard told the club's official website: "The scan has shown that Jon has ruptured his ankle ligaments and he won't play again this season.

"The plan now is to take specialist advice but surgery is a possibility. I can see his rehab continuing throughout the summer."

Walters has scored five goals in the league this season, playing behind Jon Stead and Pablo Counago.
