Aaron Ramsey’s nightmare debut season at Burnley has come to a premature conclusion with Vincent Kompany confirming that the £12 million signing from Premier League giants Aston Villa will not play again in 2023/24.
While Jacob Ramsey has bounced back from an injury which had kept him out for much of the current campaign, the Aston Villa star’s younger brother will not be gracing a top-flight pitch again for some time.
Aaron Ramsey, who joined Burnley in a £12 million deal from Villa Park in August, was stretchered off during last week’s 5-0 hammering by Arsenal. Quite literally, insult to injury.
This was already shaping up to be a campaign both Burnley and Ramsey would be keen to forget, and things will get worse before they get better for the 21-year-old midfielder with Kompany now confirming that The Clarets’ worst fears have been realised.
Another Burnley blow for Vincent Kompany
“Unfortunately for us, (the injury) was as bad as we thought,” the former Manchester City captain tells BBC Sport before Saturday’s clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. “Definitely, his season is over.”
Ramsey’s ‘season’ may have come to an end but what about his year? Kompany adds that the ex-Middlesbrough loanee, who has only made five league starts for Burnley, will likely have to wait quite a while for number six to come around.
Nightmare season after Aston Villa exit
“Maybe for the larger part of this year he won’t feature. I don’t want to go into specifics, but the main thing is he’ll recover fully,” Kompany sighs.
“It’s a blow for him but it’s part of a career. We will support him the best we can, he’ll be an important player for us in the future. It’s just unfortunate it’s come at the time he’s coming through.”
At least, in elder sibling Jacob and Kompany himself, Ramsey should not be short of helpful advice from two men who have battled back from their own injury issues.
