Burn suffered a fractured rib and damaged his lung and could miss up to six weeks, according to Keith Downie of Sky Sports.

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 for at least a few weeks, possibly missing anywhere from a month to two months as he recovers. 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.
