Anass Zaroury - Hopeful to return Zaroury (undisclosed) is hoping to return for Saturday's match against Brentford. According to manager Vincent Kompany, "There's quite a few players coming back."

Impact Zaroury missed both matches prior to the break and his spot in the squad isn't guaranteed Saturday. Either way, he's struggled for minutes this season, from getting a red card off the bench in the opener to barely featuring in following contests from the bench. He'll hope to turn that trend around once he's back to full health.

Louis Beyer - Could return at Brentford Beyer (undisclosed) could be an option Saturday against Brentford. According to manager Vincent Kompany, "There's quite a few players coming back."

Impact Beyer was a surprise absence in the match before the break and while there haven't been any injury updates on him over the break, it sounds like he could be one of the players returning. He'd be a welcome boost to the back line that was thin in the loss against Chelsea. Beyer has started all six league matches in which he's been available this season.

Ameen Al-Dakhil - Should be option at Brentford Al-Dakhil (undisclosed) is expected to be an option Saturday against Brentford. According to manager Vincent Kompany, "Al-Dakhil had to withdraw (from Belgium international duty) b...

Impact It's never been revealed the exact injury for Al-Dakhil, but it sounds like he should be fine for Saturday's match. He left after 45 minutes just before the break and was withdrawn from the national team, so his spot isn't guaranteed in the squad, but given the lack of injury updates, signs are that he'll be in the XI against Brentford.

Luca Koleosho - Falls to bench Koleosho was brought off the bench in the final match before the international break.

Impact Koleosho has been a consistent part of the starting XI on both wings but fell to the bench for the final match before the break. It's not a surprising turn with the limited minutes Koleosho has seen, going more than 70 minutes just three times in eight matches. Koleosho has provided one assist while creating nine chances in eight appearances (seven starts.)

Johann Gudmundsson - Continues to deal with injury Gudmundsson revealed via social media that he continues to recover from a nagging calf injury, Matt Scratton of Burnley Express reports.

Impact The talented midfielder posted a cryptic message that read "the comeback is always stronger than the setback," so perhaps he suffered another problem in his recovery. He has no clear timetable for his return, but given there has been no sight of a potential return to training, he might be a few weeks away from returning to the side.

Ameen Al-Dakhil - Withdraws from Belgium squad Al-Dakhil has withdrawn from international duty with Belgium due to an undisclosed injury, Matt Scrafton of Burnley Express reports.

Impact There's no clarity on the issue that's affecting Al-Dakhil, but if it's severe enough to keep him out of the rest of the international, then he should be considered doubtful, at least, to face Brentford when the league resumes. Al-Dakhil has been a regular for The Clarets this season, starting every game and going the full 90 in seven of his eight appearances.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Ramsey - Late check for Saturday Ramsey had to be subbed off after just 15 minutes in Tuesday's match against Luton Town and is a doubt to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Impact It's never good when your substitute needs to sub off, which was the case for Ramsey on Tuesday. Injury or not, he was moved to the bench last match and probably won't be risked to start Saturday given the injury. Unfortunately, Vincent Kompany isn't too helpful with injuries and the exact problem remains unknown.

Impact Brownhill had yet another productive match Tuesday, filling up the stat sheet on both ends of the pitch. He matched his previous season highs in shots taken, chances created, crosses and corners taken in his fourth consecutive start. He put in nice defensive work too, as he contributed one won tackle, one interception and three clearances. Although he has just one goal and zero assists this season, his recent form suggests more goal contributions should be coming soon.

OCTOBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sander Berge - Records first assist Tuesday Berge assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Luton Town.

Impact Berge recorded his first assist of the season Tuesday as his through ball just before halftime set up Lyle Foster's goal to give Burnley the lead heading into the break.

He was making his return to action after a two-game suspension for a red card and marked the occasion with his third goal of the season just before halftime.
