Axel Tuanzebe joined Ipswich Town in September 2023 after his Manchester United contract expired Ipswich Town defender Axel Tuanzebe is expected to be out for at least a month after sustaining a freak hand injury while doing the washing up. The 26-year-old DR Congo international sustained a deep cut to his thumb while he was washing the dishes last week. The former Manchester United and Aston Villa player had started the first six Premier League games of the season for promoted Ipswich before missing Saturday's 4-1 loss to West Ham. Ipswich boss Kieran Mc Kenna said on Saturday Tuanzebe's injury was a "very unfortunate accident". "He's naturally a miss with the way he's started the season. He's going to be out for a little while, " Mc Kenna said. Ipswich told BBC Sport the accident had occurred at home and Tuanzebe has had successful surgery. Ben Johnson replaced Tuanzebe at London Stadium, where defeat left Ipswich still winless after seven league games.
