James Tarkowski - Injured against Villa Tarkowski was forced off early with an injury in the second half of Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Tarkowski has started all but two matches this season, so his removal is a blow to Burnley's back line, especially with Ben Mee still out. Kevin Long came in for him Saturday and partnered youngster Nathan Collins for the rest of the match.

Maxwel Cornet - On bench Saturday Cornet (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Cornet returns to the side after missing the last two matches with a knee issue. He should be fit enough for some minutes and seems likely to replace either Ashley Barnes or Aaron Lennon in the second half against Villa.

Ben Mee - Edging way back to training Mee (knee) has been working on the grass but remains without a return date, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact Mee remains a doubt to feature again this season, but he's at least making progress, which is a good sign having been out since March 1. Nathan Collins has played well on the back line and figures to keep that job next to James Tarkowski until Mee is ready.

Maxwel Cornet - Running on pitch Cornet (knee) has started running on the grass but remains a doubt for Saturday's match against Aston Villa, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact This doesn't sound like an overly favorable update on Cornet, who was considered a late test for last weekend's match. Cornet has missed the last two matches and appears in danger of missing a third. Combined with the absence of Jay Rodriguez, Matej Vydra seems set to start another game up front for Burnley on Saturday.

Erik Pieters - In contention to return Pieters (knee) is back running on grass and will be available for upcoming matches, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact Pieters has been out since late February with a knee issue, but it looks like he'll be healthy to closet the campaign. That being the case, he's not expected to return to the starting XI with Charlie Taylor locked in at left-back.

Jay Rodriguez - Dealing with hamstring issue Rodriguez continues to deal with a hamstring issue and will miss Saturday's match against Aston Villa, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact Rodriguez was injured in warmups last week and unfortunately it was a hamstring tweak, which puts his status for the rest of the season in doubt. Prior to injury, he'd started five-straight matches, so he'll have to be replaced with Maxwel Cornet possibly being an option, depending on his health.

Jay Rodriguez - Extends Burnley contract Rodriguez has signed a new, two-year contract with Burnley.

Impact Rodriguez signs on with Burnley for another two years despite the possibility of relegation, likely because it's his hometown club. It seemed like his days in the Premier League were over, but he's found a role in the second half of the season and will hope to close the campaign strong if he can escape injury.

Matej Vydra - Another start, goal contribution Vydra logged one assist across 89 minutes during a 2-1 win Saturday at Watford.

Impact Maxwel Cornet and Jay Rodriguez's injuries allowed Vydra to log another start. He contributed a goal during each of his last two Premier League starts. Though the now 30-year-old will not consistently record those, Vydra has been great when given them.

Jack Cork - Rare goal during start Cork scored one goal across 90 minutes during a 2-1 win Saturday at Watford.

Impact Cork logged his first English Premier League goal since the 2018-19 EPL season. He will receive more chances to start and score goals while Ashley Westwood (ankle) is out.

Charlie Taylor - Assist to end month Taylor logged one assist during a 2-1 win Saturday at Watford.

Impact Jack Cork logged a header goal from an accurate Taylor cross. Surprisingly, the latter recorded one assist during Burnley's first and last English Premier League games across April. Taylor had not logged multiple EPL assists from August 2021 to March 2022.

Nick Pope - Unfortunately concedes goal Pope conceded one goal during a 2-1 win Saturday at Watford.

Impact One of Juraj Kucka's seven off-goal shots bounced off both a crossbar and Burnley central defender James Tarkowski, who logged the own goal Pope conceded Saturday.

Jay Rodriguez - Injured in warmups Rodriguez was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's match against Watford and was replaced by Matej Vydra.

Impact Rodriguez came in with a calf complaint and that was likely the reason he was scrapped from the lineup Saturday. Already down Maxwel Cornet, Burnley are a bit slim for Saturday's matchup and the hope is that Matej Vydra is ready for a full 90.

Jay Rodriguez - Expected to play Saturday Rodriguez (calf) was not mentioned by interim manager Mike Jackson ahead of Saturday's match against Watford.

Impact Rodriguez is either fine after leaving the prior match with a calf issue or he'll completely miss out Saturday. It seems more likely that he's fine, as this calf issue has been bugging him and the full week of rest will hopefully help. He moved to the outside midfield last match where he managed one shot and no crosses.

Maxwel Cornet - Late test against Watford Cornet (knee) is considered a late test for Saturday's match against Watford, according to interim manager Mike Jackson.

Impact It's not a positive update on Cornet, who has had a few days to recover from whatever knee issue was ailing him. Burnley are still pushing to stay in the Premier League and Cornet would undoubtedly help. If he can't go again, Matej Vydra would likely receive another start up front.
