Jay Rodriguez - Pulls hamstring in training Rodriguez wasn't in the squad for Saturday's match against Leicester City because he pulled his hamstring in Friday's training session, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It's a disappointing injury for Rodriguez, who may have started Saturday after scoring four goals midweek. Unless it's a minor tweak, he's likely set to be out until after the international break, meaning more time for Ashley Barnes and Matej Vydra is likely, assuming they can stay healthy.

Impact It is unclear whether Vydra will be forced to miss additional game time due to his potential injury. Burnley plays Norwich City next weekend.

Nick Pope - Average in draw Pope made two saves and one clearance during Saturday's two-all draw with Leicester.

Impact Pope faced only four shots and stopped two of them during Saturday's draw. The keeper was solid, if not flashy and has really struggled for fantasy relevance this season. Pope will look to bounce back for Saturday's clash with Norwich.

Ashley Westwood - Five crosses in draw Westwood sent in five inaccurate crosses during Saturday's two-all draw with Leicester City.

Impact Westwood had plenty of opportunity to get forward but failed to really do anything with the chances. He only managed to create a single chance, which is why he only has one assist despite sending in 33 crosses in five matches this season. Next up for Westwood is a Saturday clash with Norwich.

Matej Vydra - Assists in first start Vydra provided one assist on two chances create during Saturday's two-all draw with Leicester City.

Impact Vydra grabbed his first assist in his first start, as he looks to match his three goals and two assists from 20/21. The forward has failed to get into the lineup, but if he can keep producing in these rare opportunities that will likely change. Next up is a Saturday clash with Norwich City.

Maxwel Cornet - Scores, leaves injured Cornet bagged a goal but was forced off before the break with an undisclosed injury in Saturday's match against Leicester.

Impact It was a fantastic debut start for Cornet but an injury destroyed those positive thoughts. Unfortunately, he seems to have the injury bug, similar to Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who replaced him Saturday.

Josh Brownhill - Should be ready for Saturday Brownhill (knock) is on the grass training Thursday and should be available for Saturday's trip to Leicester, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact All signs point to Brownhill holding onto his job for Saturday's match. He's gone a full 90 in each of the last four, producing four shots, two chances and six crosses in a central midfield role.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Connor Roberts - Still dealing with injury Roberts remains out as he works through a groin injury, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It seems like Roberts won't be an option until after the international break, as this injury has been a little worse than expected when he joined the club. He's gotten time with the U23s, but this update didn't seem to better than prior ones.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Brownhill - Dealing with knock Brownhill picked up a knock in Saturday's loss to Arsenal and will be monitored ahead of the midweek Cup match, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact This doesn't look like a major issue for Brownhill, but on a short week he probably won't be risked in the Cup match. If all is well, he'll be rested midweek and then be in his usual starting role Saturday at Leicester.

Nick Pope - Two saves in defeat Pope made two saves and two clearances during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Pope once again had a strong performance, and was once again let down by the team in front of him. The keeper was beaten by a free kick where the wall simply chose not to jump, and was noticeably frustrated afterwards. Pope has a tough bounce back match up next, away to Leicester.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Charlie Taylor - Fails to convert on seven crosses Taylor sent in seven crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Taylor was another Arsenal defender falling afoul of accuracy, sending in plenty of crosses, but failing to send in any particularly threatening crosses. Next up for Taylor is a tough match away to a stout Leicester side.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Matthew Lowton - Six open play crosses Lowton sent in six crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Lowton was exceptional, getting forward well and peppering the Arsenal defense with crosses. Despite that he failed to get on the score sheet and has been a relatively awkward fantasy option thus far. Next up is a Saturday trip away to Leicester.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Johann Gudmundsson - Three shots in loss Gudmundsson shot three times (once on goal) during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Gudmundsson was yet another Burnley forward unable to truly test the net, despite plenty of glowing opportunities. The midfielder did everything well right up until he needed to finish his chances. Next up is a Saturday trip away to Leicester.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Westwood - Busy in loss Westwood shot three times (once on goal) and sent in seven crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Westwood had plenty of chances against a poor Arsenal defense, but failed to do much with those chances. Westwood will look to get back on the scoresheet during a tough match Saturday, away to Leicester.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dwight McNeil - Sixteen crosses in loss McNeil sent in 16 crosses (four accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact McNeil sent in a mind-boggling 16 crosses during Saturday's loss and led the way with three chances created. The midfielder has been off to a stellar start in the season though he has a tough match Saturday, away to Leicester City, to try and continue that form.
