Jonny Williams will continue his rehabilitation from his groin injury at Crystal Palace and Mick McCarthy concedes he doesn’t know whether the midfielder will return to Portman Road. 

The Wales international, who is on loan at Town from the  Premier League club until the start of January, was ruled out for at least a month after being forced off in the second-half against Watford following a challenge from Joel Ekstrand. 

“Jonny is going back to Palace to do his rehab there,” the Town boss told the Club website. 

“He’s going to be out for another three weeks or so and they want to look after him. I’d do the same if I was them. 

“Whether we see him back here or not, I just don’t know at this stage.”
