Nick Pope - Makes one save against Leeds Pope made one save and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Leeds.

Impact Pope wasn't really tested by Leeds' offense, but conceded late in second half -- and they ended up with the home draw. The goalkeeper has yet to keep a clean sheet in the season, and will now visit Everton on Sep 13.

Burnley signs Maxwel Cornet from Lyon

Burnley has signed Ivory Coast international Maxwel Cornet from Lyon on a five-year deal

AUGUST 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Maxwel Cornet - Transfers to Burnley Cornet signed a five-year contract with Burnley after transferring from Lyon, the club announced Sunday.

Impact Cornet leaves Lyon having recorded 51 goals and 29 assists in 252 appearances in all competitions after six-and-a-half years with the club, mostly on the left or right wing but in the last year he has made the transition to left back. He now joins the Premier League with Burnley, where he will challenge Charlie Taylor for the starting spot.

Matej Vydra - Could return Sunday Vydra (knock) returned to training this week and could be an option Sunday against Leeds, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Vydra played five minutes in the opener when healthy, so his return to the squad doesn't change much for Burnley. He's currently the fourth forward option and that probably won't change unless an injury occurs above him in the depth chart.

Ashley Westwood - Expected to be back Sunday Westwood (toe) returned to training this week and is expected to be available Sunday against Leeds, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Westwood returned to the "grass" later in the week, so there's no guarantee he'll be ready to start Sunday. He's started at least 31 matches each of the last three seasons, so he isn't one to suffer long-term from injuries, but it may make sense for him to rest before the break, allowing Josh Brownhill another start in the midfield.

Aaron Lennon - Back with Burnley Lennon has signed a deal with Burnley after rejecting a deal with the club last summer.

Impact Lennon made 36 appearances with Kayserispor last season, so he at least spent last year running around the pitch. That doesn't mean he'll become a regular for Burnley at 34 years old, as he started just four matches with them in the 2019/20 season. On the same day he signed with the club, he was in the starting XI for Wednesday's Cup match against Newcastle.

Ben Mee - Makes two blocks during loss Mee made three tackles (won one), two clearances and two blocks during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Mee played the full 90 next to James Tarkowski once again but was unable to keep Liverpool out of the net. He's a solid source of defensive stats but needs the clean sheet to be super productive typically. Expect him back in the lineup against Leeds on Sunday.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Brownhill - Active defensively Brownhill put in four crosses (one accurate), made three tackles (won one) and three interceptions during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Brownhill continues to contribute on both sides of the pitch as his role in central midfield requires a bit of dynamism. He flies under the radar in most fantasy formats but is a solid play in leagues that account for defensive stats. Expect him back in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Leeds United.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Barnes - Creates three scoring chances Barnes created three scoring chances, took one shot (on target) and made one block during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Barnes played the full 90 and led Burnley in scoring chances created. He was a substitute in the first match so it's positive to see him come back into the side. His next chance to start will come Sunday against Leeds United.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Chris Wood - Shut out during loss Wood took one shot (on target) and drew one foul during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Wood failed to score for the second straight game as Burnley were beaten by a goal from Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane. Wood is typically Burnley's best source of goals, but he's failed to get going to begin the season. His next chance to score will come against Leeds United on Sunday, a side who have conceded seven goals in their first two matches.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dwight McNeil - Provided five crosses during loss McNeil took two shots (one on target), provided five shots (one accurate) and made three tackles (won three) during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact McNeil was Burnley's best player throughout the 90 as he contributed on both sides of the pitch. This should continue as his role on set-pieces makes him a good source of crosses while Burnley's defensive style requires effort behind the ball from the winger. He'll come back into the starting XI for Sunday's match against Leeds United.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Pope - Concedes twice during loss Pope made six saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Pope was beaten on either side of halftime by Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane. There was very little he could do on either goal as the balls were well-placed. He did shine with six saves and is up to 10 on the season through two matches. Pope's next chance to start will come Sunday against Leeds United.

Matej Vydra - Out with knock Vydra was not in the squad for Saturday's match against Liverpool because of a knock.

Impact Vydra completely misses out Saturday after going five minutes off the bench in the opener. There was some thought that he'd fight for more playing time this season after getting more starts in the preseason, but with this injury, he appears to still be the fourth option at striker for Burnley.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ashley Westwood - Misses Liverpool match Westwood was not in the squad for Saturday's match against Liverpool because of a toe injury.

Impact It's a surprise absence for the second match of the season, as Westwood is dealing with a toe injury. Fortunately, they brought in Josh Brownhill off the bench and didn't lose anything, though Westwood started 38 matches last season, so it definitely changed some things in Burnley's midfield.
