The former Manchester United defender, as a result of the incident, was forced to miss Ipswich's crushing 4-1 defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium last weekend.

Reports from Mail Sport revealed that the 26-year-old defender was washing the dishes last week when a glass smashed. One of the shards lacerated his skin and he was quickly rushed to the hospital. He required urgent medical attention, but thankfully he didn’t lose his thumb, with the surgery successful.

Post-match, the Ipswich manager disclosed that Tuanzebe was out of action due to a "very unfortunate accident" leading to a hand injury. The right-back encountered a domestic mishap when a glass he was washing shattered, causing a severe laceration, according to the Mail.

Post-match, the Ipswich manager disclosed that Tuanzebe was out of action due to a "very unfortunate accident" leading to a hand injury. The right-back encountered a domestic mishap when a glass he was washing shattered, causing a severe laceration, according to the Mail.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna said on Saturday
“He's done a hand injury, a very unfortunate accident.“ He's had surgery and will be out for a while. It's not going to be a couple of weeks, probably longer. There are still discussions with the specialists.

Tuanzebe has been a key player in the Tractor Boys’ promotion campaign from the Championship, and since promotion to the top flight, Tuanzebe has started all six of Ipswich’s Premier League games this season.

Ipswich are yet to secure their first win of the season as they have suffered defeats to Liverpool, Manchester City, and West Ham United. Four consecutive draws to Fulham, Brighton, Southampton, and Aston Villa keep the newly promoted boys in 17th place in the league table with four points.
