"Josh Cullen is facing up to the devastation of being unavailable for the rest of Ireland's World Cup journey after Burnley confirmed he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Everton last Saturday. While a statement from Burnley said Cullen would be out for a 'prolonged period', his manager Scott Parker went further after his team's defeat to Newcastle by suggesting a nine month timeframe for recovery for the 29-year-old."

Josh Cullen sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Everton last Saturday and will be unavailable for the remainder of Ireland's World Cup campaign. Burnley confirmed the injury and issued a statement saying Cullen would be out for a 'prolonged period'. Manager Scott Parker provided a clearer recovery estimate after Burnley's defeat to Newcastle, suggesting approximately nine months for rehabilitation for the 29-year-old. The expected recovery timeframe would likely prevent Cullen from participating in next summer's finals. The injury represents a major setback for Cullen and for Ireland's prospects in the upcoming World Cup finals.
