    Ipswich Town face an impatient wait to find out Wes Burns’ fitness after his international spell with Wales.
    Wales coach Rob Page has confirmed the 28-year-old is suffering from fitness problems which could prevent him from playing for Kieran McKenna’s side this weekend.
    Burns came off the bench for the national team’s 0-0 draw with South Korea on Thursday evening.
    The international friendly ended scoreless after 90 minutes, with Burns playing until the final whistle. The forward has already made his return to the club, where the extent of his injury is to be assessed .Burns flagged a potential issue with his hamstring after the game was over, raising concerns that he could miss some of the upcoming Championship action.
    What has Rob Page said about Wes Burns’ injury?
    Page reiterated his disappointment with the fixtures and timing of Wales’ friendly against South Korea last week.
    The Wales boss is disappointed to have to play ahead of tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Latvia, which he has to play without Burns in the squad.
    “I didn’t want this match because I didn’t want to risk getting injured,” Page said via East Anglian Daily Times.
    “We had injuries in this game, but it had a lot of positives.
    “Wes came in and he had a sore hamstring.
    We have a duty of care to the player as well as the club, so bringing him [to Latvia] was too risky.
    He has torn his hamstring, so it’s better to get him back.
    ”Wales are currently fourth in their qualifying group, three points behind the top two qualifying positions.
    Latvia is ranked bottom of the group with 0 points after the opening 4 matches, so Page’s team will aim to return to the winning path to raise hopes of winning tickets.
    Burns’ absence will be a big loss for Wales and Ipswich.
    The striker was a key figure at Portman Road under McKenna, playing a key role in helping the team win promotion to the Championship last season.
    Burns has featured in all five of the team’s matches so far this campaign, contributing one assist.Ipswich took 12 points out of a possible 15, winning four and losing one.
    The Tractor Boys are hoping to be one of the surprise teams in the Second Division this year as they aim to finish in the top six in their first term back in the league.
    Next up for Ipswich is a clash with Sheffield Wednesday on September 16.
    How big is Wes Burns’ injury for Ipswich Town?
    Burns has been a central figure for Ipswich over the past two years, so his absence will be a real loss.
    McKenna will also be very disappointed that this happened during a 30-minute substitute appearance in an international friendly match.
    By all accounts, it was a meaningless game for him, so getting injured would be extremely frustrating.

    But McKenna can’t do anything at the moment, so he will be forced to adapt in the coming weeks as Burns tries to return to full fitnes
