Blues wideman Wes Burns has returned to Town for “further assessment” of the injury he suffered during Wales’ 4-0 victory over Gibraltar in Wrexham last night, according to the Football Association of Wales.

Burns, who was winning his sixth cap, fell awkwardly on his shoulder after winning a header and after treatment on the pitch was replaced in the 15th minute, leaving the field using his shirt as a makeshift sling on his left arm.

It’s the second time in two months that Burns, 28, has suffered an injury while away with Wales, the winger having pulled his hamstring in the 0-0 friendly draw with South Korea in Cardiff.

Fellow Town man Nathan Broadhead was among the scorers against the Gibraltarians and also won his sixth cap.

JewellintheTown added 11:31 - Oct 12 Looked painful but hopefully not too serious. He's a tough one, our Wesley, so I'm sure he'll be back up to full fitness again very soon. Wish him a speedy recovery.

Linkboy13 added 14:22 - Oct 12 Normally recovers from injuries quickly. One of McKenna's automatic choices so expect him to be fit if any where near fit.

mikeybloo88 added 16:20 - Oct 12 Perhaps our players could start feeling a twinge just before any further international breaks this season and stay home for treatment...

Steelmonkey added 16:55 - Oct 12 Hope it’s not too serious Wes, let’s hope Broadhead steers clear of injury.

SickParrot added 17:18 - Oct 12 It would be rotten luck for Wes if he's picked up a bad injury and I hope he's playing again soon. If however he is out for a while we do at least have good cover in Omar Hutchinson. It would be a real blow if Nathan Broadhead got injured now as well.

number8 added 06:17 - Oct 13 What do we all we want? The team we had a few years back where we played during international breaks or the team we have now? The more players playing in these breaks the better!!!
