In the 23rd round of the Premier League, teams from opposite ends of the table faced off. Liverpool hosted Ipswich at Anfield.

The match ended with a convincing 4-1 victory for the hosts. However, the "Tractor Boys" not only suffered a heavy defeat but also lost their key player, Wes Burns, for an extended period. In the middle of the first half, the Welshman, in a challenge with Cody Gakpo, sustained an injury and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.

The injury is quite serious. An internal knee displacement raises concerns about potential damage to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). There is also a dislocation of the tibia.

There is a slight hope that it may be only a medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury, meniscus damage, or a bone contusion. However, this seems unlikely. The potential recovery time is over 9 months.
