Burnley v Wolves confirmed XIs and team news as Maxime Esteve ruled out
Burnley have been forced into making one change for their final game of the season against Wolves.
Maxime Esteve has been ruled unavailable after suffering with a bout of illness this week.
It comes after he was also forced off early with a tight hamstring during Monday night’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
It means Bashir Humphreys comes straight into the starting XI as a like-for-like replacement for the Frenchman.
With transfer interest anticipated in Esteve this summer, Clarets fans will fear the Arsenal outing will have been his last for the club.
Elsewhere, Connor Roberts is named on the bench having made his long-awaited return for Burnley’s Under-21s last week.
The Welshman hasn’t played a single minute this season after injuring his Achilles before the campaign got underway, before suffering further complications in his recovery.
Ashley Barnes is also named among the substitutes on what could be his Turf Moor farewell, with his contract due to expire this summer.
