Elsewhere, Jordan Beyer, Enock Agyei, Manuel Benson and Nathan Redmond also remain sidelined.

When asked if there’s anything new to report on the injury front ahead of Saturday’s trip to Portsmouth, Parker said: “No, not really. Everyone who you'd expect to be fit is fit.

“Boys are starting to come back now, they’re certainly being on the grass and training with us more.

“Redmond, Enock, Benny and Ramsey are still a little bit away. But Ramsey is certainly edging a little bit closer.

“The other boys are starting to participate a little bit more, fully in training, but they still need more work. But we're heading in the right direction with them boys.”

Away from the injury news, Jonjo Shelvey will be pushing to make his Burnley debut after not featuring in the first two games following his move.

The likes of Shurandy Sambo, Oliver Sonne and Mike Tresor, meanwhile, have all been left out of Burnley’s squad in recent weeks too.
