Redknapp: Ings injury unlikely to stop Burnley going up

By

QPR boss Harry Redknapp says Burnley’s recent injury worries are unlikely to stop them winning automatic promotion.

Rangers have all but given up hope of a top-two finish after five defeats in eight games left them 10 points behind the second-placed Clarets.

Burnley have been able to field a settled side for most of the season but now face being without top scorer Danny Ings for a spell, while impressive right-back Kieran Trippier has picked up a hamstring injury.

However, Redknapp said: “I still think it’s going to be hard for us to catch them, but we’ve got to keep going.

“Ings has picked up an injury and he’ll be a big loss for them. But they’ve got a good cushion now.

“We lost games that we could have won. We’d be right there with them now with a couple more wins.”
