Leeds United's promotion rivals Ipswich Town could be without Wales international attacker Wes Burns for the Championship run-in after the 29-year-old withdrew from Rob Page’s squad due to a hamstring injury.
Burns picked up the injury during Ipswich’s 6-0 rout of Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and was substituted before half-time, unable to continue for Kieran McKenna’s side. The Suffolk club’s head coach revealed after the match that Burns’ issue didn’t look like a minor problem, casting doubt on the part he will be able to play for the remainder of 2023/24. “It doesn’t look great,” McKenna said. “It's a hamstring and it doesn't look like a minor one.
That leaves Burns and Ipswich roughly a month to oversee his return to the pitch for games against the likes of Southampton, Hull City, Norwich City and Middlesbrough, which due to the as yet undisclosed severity of the injury, may not be possible. Burns’ withdrawal means he does not join up with the rest of the Wales squad, which includes Leeds quartet Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Connor Roberts and Daniel James, as well as Ipswich teammates Nathan Broadhead and Kieffer Moore.
