Burns underwent successful knee surgery in early February. The winger acknowledged the challenging road to recovery, stating on social media: "It's a long old road ahead, but little goals along the way and achieving them are big wins." (Source: Instagram, Wes Burns)
The expected recovery timeline for such an injury spans several months, ruling Burns out for the remainder of the current season. He is targeting a return in the early stages of the next campaign. (Source: Ipswich Town)

Worryingly, it feels like league leaders have more gears to go through should they wish. Has felt like a glorified training exercise.
Wes Burns stretchered off with a knee injury. Second half simply damage limitation.
