When asked about the collision that saw Burns getting rushed to the Hospital, he said, “”I don’t remember any of the collision,”
“I remember the ball going up and thinking I probably have to put my foot down to try and get there – I got there, remember diving, but don’t remember me and Moises colliding. Apart from that, I remember the whole game then waking up and seeing the paramedics.

“The headaches have died down now, the stitches are out and scarring up nicely so I’m on the mend.” Henriques suffered a broken jaw in the accident and damage to his teeth but Burns said he is making good progress

“I’ve seen him a couple of times, he’s in good spirits. He came off slightly worse with his jaw and his teeth but he’s on the mend.”
