Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna said: “We don’t know how long he will be out, to be honest.
"Hopefully it won’t be a very, very serious injury, but he is in a boot at the minute with damage to his ankle. He will be assessed on Monday to get a little bit of a clearer picture on where he is at.”
The development will be a concern to Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson ahead of the March international window.
Ireland have home and away games against Bulgaria on March 20 and March 23, in a two-legged Nations League promotion-relegation playoff.
