Scores late Greaves scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-1 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Greaves scored late during the second half of Saturday's loss, doing little but to take away the clean sheet from Alisson. It's a nice goal for the defender, but he's not likely to become any sort of consistent goalscorer, and the goal changed little during Saturday's loss.

Fit, left out of squad Greaves (hamstring) was fit for Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest but was left out due to squad size, according to Stuart Watson of the Ipswich Star.

Impact Greaves continues to miss out after recovering from a hamstring issue, although it is not due to injury, with the defender purely being left out due the squad already having center-back options on the bench. This is unfortunate for him but at least he can be confirmed fit. He will hope to get back in the squad and see a start soon, as he did start in the opening seven matches of the campaign before his injury.

Good to go Greaves (hamstring) is good to go for Saturday's trip against Newcastle United, per Stuart Watson of the East Anglian Daily Times.

Impact Greaves is expected to play in Saturday after being sidelined for the past month with a hamstring injury.

Impact Greaves has missed Ipswich's last four games due to a hamstring injury, but his return to training is positive, so a decision on his availability will probably be made closer to Sunday's 11:30 a.m. ET kickoff time. Greaves has started at center-back in his seven appearances this season, however, so he should return to the heart of the defensive line as soon as he's deemed fit and available.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Positive recovery Greaves is recovering well from his injury, per manager Kierna McKenna.

Impact Greaves will likely be out until after the international break, but it's a good sign his recovery is going well. McKenna has been cagey on the specifics of the injury for Greaves, but he's missed four matches with the issue, so it's clearly been something more than originally feared.
