Former Man Utd star, 26, out for months after almost losing thumb in kitchen accident, manager says
KIERAN McKENNA says Axel Tuanzebe faces a “few months” out after nearly losing his thumb in a kitchen accident.
It was revealed earlier this month that Ipswich’s Congolese defender required an emergency op when a glass shattered while he was washing up.

Speaking for the first time about the horror incident, boss McKenna said: “Some of the details came out of how he did it.
“It was a household accident — very unfortunate but very serious, very close to losing his thumb.
“He has had surgery to repair the tendons and everything in the thumb that was damaged.
“Now, he’s just recovering from that. I think the recovery’s going pretty well but it’s a long-term injury.
“As much as it seems like a pretty innocuous body part in the game of football, it’s a pretty important body part in human anatomy and he needs to let it recover.
“Of course, he’s a loss and a miss. It just shows how quickly things can change in football and in life. Thankfully, he’s recovering well and we now have to adapt and improve as a team.
“But we look forward to having him back when he’s ready again.
“It could be anything from a few months, maybe a little bit less if the recovery goes well.

“That’s something we’re in dialogue with different specialists on.”
Tractor Boys centre-back Dara O’Shea is a doubt for Everton’s visit today after getting injured while on Republic of Ireland duty.
And McKenna added: “He had an issue in his back that’s being assessed, so we’ll see how it goes.”
McKenna plans to stick with £22.5million club-record buy Omari Hutchinson at No 10 — despite his stunning display for England Under-21s on the right wing.
Hutchinson, 20, had a hand in four goals in a 7-0 win over Azerbaijan.
McKenna said: “We’ve got a pretty clear belief in how we can make him most effective in different games and scenarios.”

Graham Potter joins Eddie Howe on eight-man list of managers who were NOT interviewed for England job
GRAHAM POTTER has joined Eddie Howe on the list of managers snubbed from the England job.
Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was named as Gareth Southgate‘s permanent successor and will take over from Lee Carsley.

Tuchel, 51, will become the third foreigner to lead the Three Lions as he follows in the footsteps of Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Howe revealed that the FA did not approach him to interview for the job.
This is despite ten different candidates being interviewed for the role, including some English managers.
However, one name that was not on that list was former Blues boss Potter.
The Daily Mail have claimed that he was not interviewed for the role.
Potter had been hotly tipped to be in the running for the job following the stellar work he did at Brighton and Hove Albion.
The report also claimed that English managers Sean Dyche, Frank Lampard and Gary O’Neil were also not considered.
This is also extended to Welshman Steve Cooper, Italian Carlo Ancelotti and former Scotland international Russell Martin.

The Real Madrid boss admitted that he was not approached by the FA for the role.
He said: “No. I didn’t hear from the English national team at all.
Inside FA’s thrilling chase for Tuchel
THE FA’s path to securing Thomas Tuchel’s signature was not a straightforward one.
They tried to lure Pep Guardiola from Manchester City over the summer.
They even made contact with Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti after deciding to target trophy-laden foreign gaffers.
The FA’s determination to go international was summed up by their decision NOT to interview Newcastle boss Eddie Howe.
Initial talks with Tuchel saw him express a slight interest in replacing Gareth Southgate.
But he was waiting to see what would happen at Manchester United, with Erik ten Hag’s future under the spotlight.
Man Utd owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe eventually decided to stick with Ten Hag – and that opened the door to the FA getting their man.
Read the full story on England’s thrilling pursuit of Thomas Tuchel.
“They’ve chosen a very good coach, in my opinion.
“He’s very strong tactically and he has proven so throughout his whole career. I wish him the best.”
Speaking in his press conference, Howe insisted that he is focused on his job at Newcastle.
He said: “I was not. There was no contact from the FA. England have to do what is right for them.
“Only they will know the processes they have gone through.
“For me it is about Newcastle. I remain 100 per cent focused to my work, if you drop focus the job becomes impossible.”

Adrien Fourmaux believes his struggles for pace at the Central European Rally can be attributed to a mystery issue that his M-Sport World Rally Championship team will investigate.
Fourmaux has been one the WRC’s form drivers this year but has strangely been off the pace on this weekend’s asphalt roads, which yielded a WRC2 victory for the Frenchman last year.
Fourmaux completed Friday’s six stages 1m33.4s adrift of leader Thierry Neuville in what proved to be an extremely difficult day for the 29-year-old.
A hybrid unit failure on stage four (Strasín 1 – 26.69km) caused by an impact from a jump landing put Fourmaux on the back foot. Under new regulations that came in last month, the unit can no longer be reset, meaning he had to complete the remaining four stages without hybrid boost.
However, Fourmaux felt that the hybrid loss was only part of his problems having highlighted handling issues before the failure. At the midday remote service he said that he was struggling with “everything” when asked what areas of the car were causing strife.
Changes made at the remote service improved the Puma across the afternoon.
But Fourmaux believes there has been something awry with the car since there start of the event as it is not performing the same as it did on the pre-event test or when he was competing at the Rallylegend event last weekend.
“Feeling-wise it seems to be better but the time is still really bad, so I have no idea,” Fourmaux told Motorsport.com.

“I really struggled on the dirty stuff to slow the car down and rotate it. It is definitely not ideal, but we had a test in the wet – it was really clean with no cuts, and then we went Rallylegend where it was fully dry.
“But here there is a lot of dirt on the road, so I think we missed something on the test.
“But also there is something wrong because directly from the start of the event I mentioned to the team that the car doesn’t feel the same as it was in Rallylegend with the same springs, same anti-roll bar and same dampers, the car was already much softer. There is something we need to investigate.
“We are going to change the anti-roll bar and springs and we will see if there is any difference.”
Fourmaux was one of four Rally1 drivers to suffer a hybrid unit failure on Friday, which added to the frustration.
Team-mate Gregoire Munster and Toyota’s Sami Pajari also had to run four stages without the boost as teams are unable to reset the devices on safety grounds under the new regulations.
M-Sport has confirmed that it has replaced the hybrid units on its cars ahead of Saturday’s stages.
“We had an issue in Greece and we have had the issue here, it is really frustrating, so I think it is big shame for everybody,” Fourmaux added.
