English defender Dan Burn suffered a serious injury that will keep him out of action for about six weeks, following his participation in his team's match against Sunderland, according to journalist Craig Hope.

Medical examinations revealed that Burn suffered a punctured lung along with a broken rib, necessitating monitoring and treatment, with an emphasis on the need for a rest period before returning to training and official matches.

Burn's absence is a defensive blow to his team in the upcoming phase, especially given the tight match schedule. The coaching staff is expected to work on finding alternative solutions to compensate for his absence until he fully recovers and gradually returns to the field.

It should be noted that Newcastle is currently without the services of Dutch defender Sven Botman due to injury.
