An official Burnley injury update, likely availability for Tuesday night’s Newcastle United match.
Scott Parker is missing a lot of players.
The Burnley boss is short on numbers due to both injuries and the African Cup of Nations.
Scott Parker hopes to have defender Maxime Esteve available again.
However, the reality is that Esteve could be one of nine Burnley players unavailable.
Scott Parker currently summarizes the situation: “Everyone has to be ready at this time of year because the games come so quickly. Maxine [Esteve] is close [to a return] but we’ll see where he stands ahead of the game. Hopefully he is in the starting line-up for a return as we need everyone to be ready to play their role in the coming days and weeks.”
These are the nine Burnley players who could all be missing against Newcastle United:
Maxime Esteve – Late fitness call
Axel Tuanzebe – Plays in the African Cup of Nations
Connor Roberts – Calf injury
Lyle Foster – Playing in the African Cup of Nations
Zeki Amdouni – Knee injury
Josh Cullen – Knee injury
Hannibal Mejbri – Playing in the African Cup of Nations
Jordan Beyer – Thigh injury
Joe Worrall – Late fitness call
Scott Parker stated before Tuesday evening: “A tough game in the Premier League against a good Newcastle side, although there is clearly a difference in Newcastle’s home and away performances and results. We will try to take advantage of the reasons that may contribute to that, but fundamentally we are focused on ourselves and putting things right.”
In their last nine Burnley games they have lost seven and drawn two, and the Burnley boss admitted: “What I do know is… Newcastle United have a lot of quality in the squad, so we will have to deliver another strong performance at Turf Moor.”
