Dean Gerken: Ipswich Town goalkeeper injures shoulder

Dean Gerken has made 86 appearances for Ipswich Town

Ipswich goalkeeper Dean Gerken will be out for the next month after injuring his shoulder at Birmingham on Saturday.

The 30-year-old, who has played 27 times for Mick McCarthy's side this season, was injured late in the 3-0 Championship defeat when diving at the feet of Blues forward James Vaughan.

Town have Bartosz Bialkowski and Jonathan Henly as cover for Gerken.

"He has suffered a partially torn ligament in his right shoulder," physio Matt Byard told the club website.
