Parkin broke his ankle in November
|
Ipswich striker Sam Parkin says the club's recent injury problems are the worst he has known in his career.
Parkin, 24, who has been out himself since breaking an ankle in November, told BBC Sport: "I have never seen anything like the last couple of weeks.
"People are dropping like flies at the moment - the treatment room is probably busier than the training pitch.
"It has been a testing time and it is great that the lads have been able to battle on and get some points."
He added: "At the start of last week there were seven strikers missing which is amazing at one time - and it is not just the strikers now."
Parkin was close to a comeback himself before his ankle flared up last week and caused him to miss Tuesday's reserve game against Coventry.
"It was disappointing to have a setback," Parkin said.
"But it was just important that we found out what was causing the discomfort so it could be sorted out so it did not happen again."
