The Whites youngsters will make a quick return to...

The Tractor Boys have been without the duo for several weeks but on the eve of their final three games, McKenna says they may be available once more. Hirst has missed all of Ipswich's football in 2024 after suffering a significant hamstring injury on Boxing Day, while Burns sustained a similar but less severe hamstring injury last month, missing the team's run-in so far. Both attackers have contributed materially to the way in which Ipswich play under McKenna and played a role in the club's...
