Dan Burn
33-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
OUT
Injury Ribs
Est. Return 1/18/2026
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."
ANALYSIS
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.
