Ipswich Town are devesded over their key player injury in a career ending..
Town boss Kieran McKenna has
confirmed that winger Wes Burns’s hamstring injury is not a short-term injury but says the Wales international won’t require surgery, while decisions will be made on whether Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess will be able to start at Blackburn on Good Friday and George Hirst is back on the grass after his hamstring injury, but Brandon Williams remains at Manchester United.
“We’re OK. From the last game, we obviously lost Wes. He’s seen the specialist now. As we suspected, it’s certainly not a short-term injury to his hamstring, but no surgery required and he’s doing OK,” he said.
“It’s a challenging time in terms of the international week. We’ve had Cameron [Burgess] playing on the other side of the world [in Australia], we’ve had Jeremy [Sarmiento] playing in New York, we’ve had the Welsh boys going through an emotional 120 minutes last night, in Kieffer [Moore]’s case, so that’s a challenge.
“We had the whole group back in today apart from Cameron, he’ll return to the training ground tomorrow, so we’ll make the best of the cards that are in front of us and prepare as well as we can for the game and get the whole group back together and make sure we’re going into Friday in a really good place.”
Might Burns be back before the end of the season? “It’s a wait and see. It’s not impossible but it’s a long way from guaranteed either. It really is a case of wait and see.
