Burns: The Comeback Will Be Better Than the Setback - Ipswich Town News
Out-for-the-season Blues winger Wes Burns has vowed that the “comeback will be better than the setback” having suffered an ACL tear at Liverpool last week.
Manager Kieran McKenna confirmed at his press conference earlier this afternoon that the 30-year-old will undergo surgery next week and will miss the rest of the campaign.
Writing on Instagram, Wales international Burns admitted that it’s a big blow but is taking a positive outlook.
"Devastated that my season has ended this way, these things happen in football unfortunately,” he wrote.
"It’s going to be a long old road to recovery but I’m determined to come back better! With the support of my family, Ipswich Town and my amazing teammates I have no doubt my rehab journey will give me the opportunity to improve as a person and athlete.
"I have every faith that the lads can get the job done this year. The best is yet to come from this group. The comeback will be better than the setback.”
