Maxime Esteve - Off in first half Esteve was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Newcastle with an injury.

Luca Koleosho - Still hoping to return Koleosho (knee) was in a "good place," but doesn't have an update on a possible return, according to manager Vincent Kompany.
Impact Kompany has been maybe the worst manager in the league at giving injury updates this season and that's not going to change the final few weeks. Koleosho underwent knee surgery in December and there's been few updates on his recovery since. With three matches to go, it's still hard to see him playing significant minutes this season.

Zeki Amdouni - Converts penalty in draw Amdouni scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Impact Amdouni entered the match in the 57th minute and leveled for Burnley from the penalty spot in the 87th to earn a point for his club. The goal was the first since January for the forward who didn't make a start for Burnley in the month of April.

Arijanet Muric - Concedes once in draw Muric allowed a goal while making nine saves during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Impact Muric allowed the opening goal of the match in the 79th minute, but held United from there as Burnley found a late game tying goal. The keeper has conceded one goal in each of his last three starts while combining for 27 saves as he's yet to keep a clean sheet this season.

Lyle Foster - Knock not serious Foster trained throughout the week and is available for Saturday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Vincent Kompany.
Impact Foster was forced off against Sheffield United with a knock after scoring during the 4-1 win. It appears the knock wasn't a serious one, as Foster is now available for Saturday's match against Manchester United. The forward has started five matches in a row and should be straight back in the starting XI.

Arijanet Muric - Logs double-digit saves in win Muric made 10 saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 4-1 win over Sheffield United.
Impact Muric had another great performance between the posts, racking up double-digit saves for the second time over the last five starts and just being beaten when Gustavo Hamer sent the ball into the far post with a shot that would be impossible to save for most goalkeepers. Muric is yet to keep a clean sheet over six matches since taking over as the starting goalkeeper, but the 37 saves he accumulated during this stretch make him an intriguing fantasy pick anyway.

Josh Cullen - Logs assist in win Cullen delivered an assist, created two chances, made four tackles (two won) and two clearances and drew four fouls during Saturday's 4-1 win over Sheffield United.
Impact Cullen put up another solid performance on both ends and crowned it with an assist for Johann Berg Gudmundsson to seal the 4-1 win in the 71st minute. This was the third assist of the season for the midfielder, who racked up one goal, two assists, 13 chances created, 20 crosses, 12 tackles and 19 fouls drawn over eight matches since recovering his starting spot.

Johann Gudmundsson - Scores off bench in win Gudmundsson scored a goal off three shots (two on target) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 4-1 win over Sheffield United.
Impact Gudmundsson was brought in the 70th minute to replace Vitinho and then made an impact with his first touch, sealing the 4-1 with a curved left-footer that went into the far post. This was the first goal of the season for the playmaker, who's been mostly disappointing all year but will hope to seal his campaign with better numbers.

Lyle Foster - Scores in win over Sheffield Utd Foster scored a goal off four shots (three on target) during Saturday's 4-1 win over Sheffield United.
Impact Foster had by far his best game since returning from a muscle injury that made him miss a month, scoring his side's third goal with a one-timed finished from just ahead of the penalty spot and being involved in many other dangerous actions. With just five goals and three assists over 20 league appearances this season, the attacker will hope this performance can ignite him to finish the campaign in a higher note.

Vitinho - Logs assist in win Vitinho delivered an assist, had three shots (one on target), created two chances and made two tackles (one won) and three clearances during Saturday's 4-1 win over Sheffield Unite...
Impact Vitinho was deployed as a right full-back this time and had a great performance on both ends, especially on offense, where he assisted his team's second goal and then went up the field many other times, attempting more shots than he did in any other game this season. His stat lines are not always very well-round, but the versatility he brings to the table and the ability to produce on either side of the ball makes Vitinho a constant presence on the starting XI.

Lorenz Assignon - Scores, assists versus Sheffield Utd Assignon scored a goal off two shots (both on target), delivered an assist, created two chances and made five clearances, one interception and one block during Saturday's 4-1 win o...
Impact Assignon played well defensively but his combination of speed skill enabled him to be an even bigger factor on the attacking end, as he scored his team's second goal during the first half and then assisted the third. With one goal and two assists over 11 league starts since joining Burnley in February, Assignon still has four games left to add to his numbers on both ends.

Jacob Bruun Larsen - Scores opener against Sheffield Utd Bruun Larsen scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created one chance, sent in two crosses (one accurate) and made three clearances during Saturday's 4-1 win over Sheffield...
Impact Bruun Larsen had luck by his side in the 38th minute, when his volley towards the goal was deflected by defender and that took from the goalkeeper the chance to stop it. That's now three goals over the last six appearances for the forward, who now has surpassed the production from the 22 appearances that came before this positive stretch.

Luca Koleosho - Could return Koleosho (knee) could return before the end of the season, according to manager Vincent Kompany.
Impact Koleosho getting back on the pitch would be a huge surprise to say the least, but it seems possible. Even if he was able to return it would likely just be a cursory appearance off the bench. Kompany remains extremely cagey with injury news so it's still not clear what the exact sort of knee injury is for Koleosho.
