In a post on X on Sunday evening, the club said: “We can confirm that former player and club ambassador Simon Milton fell unwell during Sunday’s Premier League fixture at home to AFC Bournemouth and was taken to hospital.
“Simon is now stable and communicating. He is in good spirits and will head home to rest. He would like to thank the first responders at Portman Road and those that have passed on their best wishes. At this time we ask everyone to respect the privacy of Simon and his family.”
