Ipswich Town are holding out hope that Wes Burns can still have an impact on their Championship season, despite being sidelined with a hamstring injury. The winger has been missing since before the international break, causing him to miss crucial matches as Ipswich aims for promotion to the Premier League.
Initially, there were concerns that Burns could be out for the rest of the season, but manager Kieran McKenna has provided a glimmer of hope for the fans. He revealed that the scan results were positive, increasing the optimism that Burns could make a return in the coming weeks.
Having played 32 games this season and contributing five goals and three assists, Burns has been a key player for Ipswich. His absence was evident in their recent loss to Norwich City, which saw them fall from the top of the table.
With five games left in the regular season, Ipswich now sit in second place, one point behind league leaders Leicester City. Despite the setback, McKenna is confident that his team can bounce back, starting with a match against Watford at Portman Road on Wednesday.
Upcoming fixtures against Middlesbrough, Hull City, Coventry City, and Huddersfield Town will determine Ipswich’s fate in the promotion race. As they look to secure a spot in the Premier League, they will be relying on Burns to make a timely return and help them finish the season strong.
