Newcastle United defender Dan Burn will be on the sidelines for four to six weeks after injuring his rib and lungs following a challenge with Sunderland’s Nordi Mukiele during Sunday’s 1-0 defeat in the Premier League, his manager Eddie Howe said on Tuesday.
The England international was taken to hospital after sustaining the injury late in the first half and Howe said the 33-year-old struggled to breathe.
«It was a big blow for us because I think he has been excellent in recent weeks. It’s a rib problem and a problem with his lungs so we wish him the best and it will take another four to six weeks,» Howe told reporters ahead of Wednesday’s League Cup quarter-final against Fulham.
Newcastle, twelfth in the English top flight, continues its league match at home against Chelsea on Saturday fdsf2.
