David Datro Fofana - Ineligible against Chelsea Fofana bagged a goal in back-to-back matches in the win against Brentford but will be ineligible for the trip to Chelsea, his parent club.

Impact Fofana has started the last six matches, going close to a full 90 in each of them, proving to be the team's best striker despite joining on loan in January. After not getting much run at Union Berlin, he already has four goals and an assist in eight appearances with Burnley. Lyle Foster returned from injury before the break and could be ready to start against Chelsea, but there is a chance Foster and Fofana will start together when the latter is eligible again.

Lyle Foster - Returns after five matches Foster (strain) is available from the bench during Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Foster returns earlier than expected after undergoing surgery a month ago. The forward had started six straight matches prior to the injury, scoring once, but will likely be eased back into match action over the coming weeks.

Josh Brownhill - Good showing in return Brownhill recorded two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham United.

Impact After sitting out the last match due to suspension, Brownhill made his return to action as a substitute to begin the second half. He injected a burst of energy for his side, registering his first shot on goal in his last five outings. This also marked the seventh match this season where he accounted for at least two chances created.

Joshua Cullen - Accounts for two chances created Cullen recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Cullen picked up his second consecutive start and delivered a productive effort with two chances created in a full 90 minutes played. His two crosses sent in the match tie his season high, while his two corners mark a new season high. On the defensive side, he provided a great effort with four tackles and three tackles won.

David Datro Fofana - Opens scoring in draw Fofana scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Ham United.

Impact Fofana got the scoring started early with a shot from outside the box in the 11th minute of play. It marked his first scoring effort within a stretch of five consecutive starts, and it marks his third goal in seven appearances since joining Burley this season.

Jacob Bruun Larsen - Unlucky with free kick effort Bruun Larsen registered two shots (both on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Larsen came closest to getting the Clarets on the scoresheet Sunday with a direct free kick attempt that took a world-class effort for Cherries keeper, Neto, to stop. He was subbed after 69 minutes. The Danish striker is not a regular starter and usually makes appearances from the bench. He has not scored since early December.

Vitinho - No on goal efforts in loss Vitinho had three shots (none on goal) and executed four crosses (none accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 68th minu...

Impact Vitinho continued to disappoint Sunday. The Brazilian midfielder did not manage to contribute to any of the Clarets six on goal efforts. The best he did was an attempt that flew just over the bar. The regular starter has yet to contribute an assist or goal.

Wilson Odobert - Places six shots in defeat to Cherries Odobert registered six shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and created four chances in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Odobert was Burnley's most dangerous attacker Sunday, he was a constant menace down the Clarets right flank. Three of his efforts were blocked, he placed a swerving effort that flew just over the bar and was unlucky not to find the net when he did not make a clean connection with his one on goal attempt. Despite his high work rate the regular starting French forward has not found the net since December.

James Trafford - Concedes two in loss to Cherries Trafford completed one save and conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat by AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Trafford made only one notable save Sunday from the three shots he faced on goal. The 21-year-old is not helped by a weak defensive line in front of him, it has now been 10 games since he last delivered a clean sheet and he holds one of the weakest goals conceded per game statistics at 2.2. He will be challenged to keep a clean sheet in Burnley's next which is away at West Ham. The Hammers have chalked up seven goals from their last two games.

Josh Brownhill - No longer suspended Brownhill is eligible for Sunday's match against West Ham after serving his one-match ban against Bournemouth this past Sunday.

Impact Brownhill is an option for selection once again, as he has served his ban after receiving a straight red card in the club's previous match. The midfielder will most likely return to the starting XI, as he has been a regular starter this season, getting the start in all but four of the matches he has been available for this campaign. He will hope to work on his goal contribution count now that he is eligible to play again, as after having 15 in the Championship last season, his jump up to the Premier League has been slightly disappointing, with only four goal contributions to his name this campaign.

Mike Tresor - Makes bench for Bournemouth game Tresor (illness) is available for Sunday's clash with Bournemouth.

Impact Tresor resumes being an option after missing three games with multiple physical problems. He has mostly been used as a super sub, tallying seven chances created, 29 crosses and 18 corners in 14 appearances (three starts).

Louis Beyer - Still no timeline Beyer (undisclosed) still has no timeline for his return, according to manager Vincent Kompany. "But with those injuries, I can't put a time on it."

Impact Beyer still not even having a timeline for his recovery is becoming a significant concern. Kompany is notoriously stingy with injury information, but this isn't looking positive for Beyer. When he's back he will be a crucial piece of the starting XI, but that may not be for multiple weeks.

James Trafford - Concedes three in loss Trafford recorded three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Impact Trafford conceded a minimum of three goals for the fourth time in the last five games and is now up to a whopping total of 16 goals against over that span. He has not had a clean sheet in the last eight outings, and he has limited opponents to less than two goals in just eight of his 26 appearances on the season. Up next for Burnley is a meeting with AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, March 3.

Impact Brownhill was shown a straight red card in the 35th minute following a last-man tackle on Jefferson Lerma. The midfielder will be suspended for next week's match against Bournemouth.

Mike Tresor - Remains out Saturday Tresor (illness) is not in the squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Tresor misses his fifth straight match after dealing with multiple ailments, the latest being an illness. The attacker has started just once since October 21st.

Mike Tresor - In question for weekend Tresor is in question for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, as manager Vincent Komanpy stated, "He's had a few unfortunate things as well. He's been ill and things like this...

Impact Tresor has missed the club's past four matches due to a plethora of problems around the player, but he may be making a return against Palace based on the manager's quotes. Even if the attacker does play, it shouldn't alter too much, as he has only started three times all season in 14 appearances in league play. With that being said, if he is healthy, expect him to only end up on the bench, possibly getting a little time off the bench to test his legs after the absence.
