Burns Left Out of Wales Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town wideman Wes Burns has missed out on a place in the Wales squad for the World Cup in Qatar.

The 26-man squad was announced this evening with Burns among those not making the cut.

Former Town striker Kieffer Moore, ex-loanee Jonny Williams and Brennan Johnson, the son of former Blues frontman David, are all included.

Wales are in Group B along with England, Iran and the USA, who they play in their first match on Monday 21st November.

Burns, 27, broke into his national team in the summer when he won his first three full caps.

The winger was subsequently called up to the party for the September internationals but didn’t play a minute of those games, although he felt the experience was worthwhile.

Speaking after Monday's 3-0 win at Bracknell, Burns said he had no clue whether he'd be named or otherwise but if he wasn't he knew he'd have work to do at Portman Road.

"I’d love to go, honestly I would, I’d love to go,” Burns said. "If I get the call, brilliant. If I don’t, I know I’ve got a big season here at Ipswich.

"I think we’ve said it many times, the aim at the end of the season is for Ipswich to be in the Championship, be playing Championship football next year, so it’s a win for me either way. If I go, brilliant, if I don’t, then I know I’ve got a job to do here.”
