Day Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Won't be back from that till at least September, will miss pre season as well Burnley striker Sam Vokes has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Sam picked up the injury during Saturday’s game against Leicester City at Turf Moor and scans have since revealed the extent of the injury. The Welsh international will now be seeking specialist advice this week and everyone at Burnley Football Club wishes him a speedy recovery. Fellow striker Danny Ings continues to make good progress in his recovery from an ankle injury and is expected to rejoin the squad soon. Burnley manager Sean Dyche said: “Sam has had a great season and I am sure you will join us all in supporting him during his recovery. “As ever, our team mentality remains focused and this represents another opportunity for someone to come and make a continued contribution in the closing weeks of the season.”http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/article/sam-vokes-injury-update-310314-1458836.aspx#6XbgQlGt7epkWozK.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ings, Trippier, Marney and now Vokes out… if we'd have won on Tuesday I'd have honestly said we'd do it. Sad to see this happen but we now have a small bit of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_Stand_Ram Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If only this had happened in January.. Oh well. Makes me laugh how some Burnley fans are bemoaning their luck on twitter and their forum, they've probably been the most lucky in the division!

Alph Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 They'll be alright now. Be able to limp over the line. Not like they play fantastic free flowing football relying on key composed players is it? They're disciplined, hard working and appear to have a strong team spirit. That much won't change. All they'll miss is a touch of quality that has given them that killer edge. I don't think they'll drop much. They're too well organised to get pulled apart in the remaining games. Couple of draws, a win or two against the weaker sides and EIEIO off they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
