With three starts apiece in those four league wins, the Tractor Boys have won their last four games in a row (all data via Fabre).
With 11 goals from 30 games, including 24 starts, Broadhead is tied for the club’s highest goal scorer in the Championship this year.
Burns has also scored five goals on the other side, and the two have each contributed two assists.
Prior to the game on Saturday, McKenna verified that Burns and Broadhead would not be playing due to injuries to their muscles.
The manager, who has used both on either wing fairly often this campaign, will be devastated by this.
As reported by the East Anglian Daily Times, McKenna stated, “Wes and Nathan are unavailable this weekend.”
They are mild sprains of the muscles.
“It seems highly improbable that they will be prepared for Tuesday’s home match against Bristol City.”
Their absence might also hinder the club’s promotion push, since the competition for the top two spots has been intensifying lately.
Ipswich is hoping that Burns and Broadhead won’t be out of action for too long because they want to take advantage of any mistakes Leeds United might make.
Although a timetable for their possible comeback has not yet been provided, a muscle strain might simply be a temporary injury for the two.
The Tractor Boys should be able to pitch their typical formation without having to push players too far out of position because Ipswich also has Jeremy Sarmiento and Omari Hutchinson to call upon to play in their stead.
