Sad tragedy: Ipswich Town Star Wes Burns Breaks Silence After Brutal Knee Injury Shocker! Aim worst huddle. See full details..
The 30-year-old, who made 18 Premier League appearances for the Blues this season, suffered a knee injury in the first half of their 4-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield. He was stretchered off, raising concerns about the severity of the injury.
McKenna confirmed that he will undergo surgery next week and will not play for Ipswich again this season.
Burns recently shared a message on Instagram ahead of Ipswich Town’s crucial match against relegation rivals Southampton at Portman Road.
“Heartbroken that my season has ended like this, but unfortunately, these things are part of football,” he wrote.
“It’s going to be a tough road to recovery, but I’m determined to return even stronger! With the support of my family, Ipswich Town, and my incredible teammates, I’m confident that my rehab journey will help me grow both as a person and an athlete.”
Ipswich Town winger Wes Burns has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during last weekend’s defeat at Liverpool.
The 30-year-old sustained the injury following a challenge with Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, which required extensive on-field treatment before Burns was stretchered off.
Since joining Ipswich from Fleetwood in 2021, Burns has been instrumental in the club’s ascent from League One to the Premier League, contributing 28 goals in 144 appearances.
In a statement, Burns expressed his disappointment:
> “It’s devastating to be sidelined for the rest of the season, but I am committed to working hard on my recovery and returning stronger.”
Manager Kieran McKenna commented:
> “Wes has been a pivotal part of our squad. His absence will be felt, but we have full confidence in his determination to come back stronger.”
The club has not yet provided a specific timeline for Burns’ recovery, but ACL injuries typically require several months of rehabilitation.
Supporters have flooded social media with messages of support, wishing Burns a speedy recovery.
The team will now look to other squad members to step up in Burns’ absence as they continue their Premier League campaign.
