On-loan Ipswich Town defender Elkan Baggott faces a significant spell on the sidelines after suffering an injury in training in Blackpool.
New Tangerines boss Steve Bruce revealed yesterday that the young centre-back, who's missed the last four games in all competitions, will be out for another month at least.
“He’s still in a boot at the moment,” Bruce told the Blackpool Gazette.
“He’ll be in it for another week, and then there’s his rehabilitation, so I don’t think we’ll see him for the next month or so.
"It’s frustrating and disappointing for the player himself.”

The 21-year-old, who's made seven senior appearances for Town, has had four loan spells so far, spending time at King's Lynn, Gillingham, Cheltenham and Bristol Rovers.
Baggott, who made his league debut for Town at Rotherham in a League One clash back in April 2022, can be recalled in the January transfer window.
He's under contract in Suffolk until next summer, though the club have the option to extend that by a further 12 months.
