RYAN Christie left Portman Road with his foot in a boot on Sunday, but the midfielder confirmed that it was a precautionary measure.

The Scot played 67 minutes in Ipswich as the Cherries won 2-1 against their hosts, but he revealed he'd taken a knock to the ankle.

He was not worried about it, though, and told the Daily Echo: “Fingers crossed it's just precautionary.

“Just got a wee kick and it ballooned up, but they like to throw all this fancy gear on you as soon as you get an injury these days, so yeah, it should be all right.”
