Leeds United’s promotion opponents left in worry by injury to important attacker

It remains to be known if Ipswich Town forward Wes Burns will play again this season after suffering a hamstring injury in their 6-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday before the international break.

LEEDS WAT

One of Leeds United‘s title opponents has yet to confirm whether a crucial player will return to action before the end of the season. Wes Burns, an Ipswich Town winger, injured his hamstring during the club’s 6-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month.

Burns was forced to withdraw from Wales’ squad for the crucial EURO 2024 play-off matches against Finland and Poland. Burns has played a key role for the Tractor Boys this season, appearing in 32 Championship games and scoring five goals.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna stated, “He [Burns] has seen the specialist now. As we suspected, his hamstring issue is not short-term, but there is no need for surgery, and he is doing well.
“We’ll get it rescanned in a week or so, and we’ll know much more than just how long the healing will take. It is possible that he may play again this season, but it is far from certain. It’s a case of “wait and see.”

Blackburn Rovers

With eight games remaining, McKenna’s club is third in the table, one point behind United. They face Blackburn Rovers tomorrow before hosting fellow top-two rivals Southampton on Easter Monday.

Cameron Burgess, Jeremy Sarmiento and Kieffer Moore will be assessed following their busy international vacations. “We’ll make the best of the cards that are in front of us and prepare as well as we can for the game,” stated McKenna.

“We will have to make a decision on some. Kieffer is a strong man, both physically and intellectually, who always wants to be present. He plays a key role for the team.

“On the other hand, yesterday night did not go as he or we had hoped. We would have rather less minutes and Wales’ passage, whereas he would have preferred Wales’ passage.
