Vincent Kompany did, however, suggest one of three could be back in contention for tomorrow’s return to Turf Moor.
Elsewhere, Luca Koleosho and Nathan Redmond remain long-term absentees.
With that in mind, here’s how we think the Clarets could line up:
1. GK - James Trafford

2. RB - Vitinho

3. CB - Dara O'Shea

4. CB - Hjalmar Ekdal
