After a couple of seasons plagued by injury, David McGoldrick's appearance for Ipswich Town for the 4-2 defeat of Barnsley on the opening day of the season felt like a new signing.
However, just one league and one cup game into the new campaign, Blues fans have learned today that arguably the best player at the club will be out of action for at least two months.
The 28-year-old (pictured) suffered ankle ligament damage during Tuesday's EFL Cup loss to Stevenage at Portman Road, and club legend John Wark despairs for the Republic of Ireland international.
"I really feel sorry for him," Wark said. "He will be a major loss as I thought he was getting back to his best and he is the one that can undo defences."
