Whoever takes charge of Burnley this weekend will have to do so without a whole host of names.
The Clarets continue to be beset by injury problems, with as many as 15 players missing last week’s trip to Lincoln City.
The 4-1 defeat at Sincil Bank proved to be the end of Nicky Hayen’s 106-day tenure.
On a positive note, Anel Ahmedhodzic comes back into contention after serving his concussion protocol, but there are a number of other fitness doubts and long-term absences.
Both sides have some injury concerns to contend with heading into Saturday’s encounter, so here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:

5. Jordan Beyer (Burnley) - out
The defender hasn’t made a competitive appearance since December 2023, but is back in training and could make a return in 2027.
6. Armando Broja (Burnley) - doubt

8. Josh Cullen (Burnley) - doubt
