Overview

• Burn says he fractured a bone in his hand during Newcastle United’s 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, feeling a crack when reaching for an opponent early in the second half.
• He underwent a scan and saw a specialist who told him he can continue playing, and he has been training with his hand strapped at St George’s Park.
• The 33-year-old was an unused substitute in England’s 3-0 win over Wales at Wembley.
• Reports indicate he was held back for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier in Riga against Latvia, with Burn saying he is ready to play.
• Newcastle are already without Tino Livramento, Lewis Hall and Yoane Wissa long term, but Burn insists the hand issue will not force him to miss matches, including the upcoming game against Brighton.
