Dan Burn - Ruled out Saturday Burn (knee) will be sidelined versus Newcastle United on Saturday with manager Graham Potter telling reporters, "Dan (Burn) is not definitely out, we'll see how he is."

Impact While Burn remains shelved, Joel Veltman figures to continue dropping back into a defensive role with the club utilizing a back four, though Adam Webster could also be in the mix at central defense. Regardless of who plays Saturday, Burn should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI once given the all-clear.
