Newcastle and England defender Dan Burn has stated that a broken arm will not prevent him from playing in the upcoming national team match against Latvia. He was seen at training with his arm bandaged but confirmed he is ready to take the field.
Details: As reported by the Daily Mail, the 33-year-old Burn got injured during a Premier League game against Nottingham Forest, explaining, “I tried to grab someone and felt a crack.” Despite the injury, he was examined by doctors and cleared to continue playing.
“I really did break my arm, but didn’t even realize how it happened. They told me I could play, so I’m ready – both for the Latvia game and for Newcastle,” Burn said.
Burn emphasized that he does not plan to miss games for what he considers a minor issue:
“I’ve had worse injuries before. A broken arm is nothing. I’m ready to play and help the team.”
Burn sat out the friendly against Wales but anticipates being part of the 2026 World Cup qualifier against Latvia.
Reminder: Jordan Pickford became the first goalkeeper in England’s history to keep eight consecutive clean sheets.
