Millwall forward Oliver Burke shares message after suffering recent injury setback

Millwall forward Oliver Burke has taken to Instagram to share a message after sustaining a hamstring injury during the club’s 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers earlier this week.

The Scotland international, who was signed on a temporary basis by the Lions in the January transfer window, would have been hoping to make a positive impression against the R’s on Tuesday.

However, Burke was replaced in the 28th minute of this fixture by Tyler Burey who went on to score for Millwall.

Limited to just three league appearances for Sheffield United earlier this season due to a separate injury issue, the forward is now set to be forced to watch on from the sidelines yet again as a result of his latest problem.

Millwall manager Gary Rowett revealed yesterday that Burke could potentially miss the next five or six games due to the severity of his hamstring injury.

The Lions will be hoping to build upon their triumph over QPR by securing a positive result in their showdown with Blackburn Rovers tomorrow.

Ahead of this fixture, Burke has taken to Instagram to share his thoughts on his latest injury blow.

The forward posted: “Gutted to be out with a hamstring injury.

“Rehab starts now!”

The Verdict

Burke will be extremely disappointed by the fact that he is unable to feature in Millwall’s upcoming fixtures as he would have been hoping to play a key role for the club when he made the switch to The Den last month.

Having featured on six occasions for the Lions since the turn of the year, Burke will be determined to deliver the goods for his side when he is fit enough to feature again.

Whilst Millwall are currently 14th in the Championship, they are only six points adrift of Middlesbrough who
