Dan Burn Injury: Suffers fractured rib

Burn suffered a fractured rib and damaged his lung and will miss four to six weeks, coach Eddie Howe confirmed in the press conference. "It was a big blow for us because I think he's been excellent in recent weeks. It's a rib problem and an issue with his lungs so we wish him well and it will be around four to six weeks out."

Burn was taken off the field following a rough tackle Sunday and was later taken to the hospital for assessment, with it now known he suffered a fractured rib and some lung damage. This will keep him out between four to six weeks to recover. He is a regular starter, so this is something for the club to monitor, with Fabian Schar a likely replacement while he is out. The hope will be that he suffers no setbacks and is in for a clean return, as the loss of a leader like Burn would be crucial for the club.
