Maxime Esteve - Injured again Esteve was forced off with an injury after 15 minutes of play in Tuesday's clash against Newcastle.

Impact Esteve was back in the starting lineup after missing a couple of contests because of an undisclosed issue, so he possibly suffered a setback. Still, his status is unclear, and he could now be sidelined for more time if the problem is serious. Bashir Humphreys replaced him Tuesday and should be a likely beneficiary from any time Esteve misses in future weeks.

Martin Dubravka - Standout performance in clean sheet Dubravka registered six saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton.

Impact Dubravka delivered a standout performance and was a key reason Burnley earned a point, making six saves, all from inside the box, to record his third league clean sheet. The six saves marked his second-highest total in a match this season and the first time such an effort has been rewarded with a clean sheet. He will look to carry that form into a midweek matchup against his former club, Newcastle United, on Tuesday.

Louis Beyer - Managed carefully by staff Beyer (hamstring) was spotted training a bit on grass in the last few weeks but is managed carefully and slowly by the staff, leaving him unavailable for the time being, coach Scot...

Impact Beyer has been recovering from a hamstring injury and has been training a bit on grass in the last few weeks but the staff is easing him back slowly into the mix to avoid any new setbacks. The defender will hold a bench role once fully back fit after such a long time on the sidelines, therefore his long term absence has no impact on the starting lineup.

Impact Roberts suffered a setback from a muscular injury mid October that required a surgery. The defender is doing alright, but his return to the pitch will be in some time, likely weeks if not more, according to coach Scott Parker. That said, Roberts is expected to be a depth option for the Clarets, therefore his absence doesn't impact the starting XI.

Maxime Esteve - Could be available Saturday Esteve (knock) was running on grass in Tuesday's training session and will be assessed later in the week to see if he can be available for Saturday's clash against Everton, coach S...

Impact Esteve missed the last game against Bournemouth due to a knock he received in training last week. The center-back was spotted running on grass during team training on Tuesday and will be a late fitness call for Saturday's clash against Everton. Esteve's issue appears minor according to coach Scott Parker, so there is a good chance he will be available against the Toffees and reclaim his undisputed starting role in the backline. That said, if he ultimately has to miss the game, Joe Worrall will likely replace him again for the Clarets.

Joe Worrall - Eight clearances in tie Worrall had eight clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Worrall anchored a Burnley backline that absorbed sustained pressure, helping limit Bournemouth to one shot on target despite greater possession and 16 attempts. The resistance finally cracked just after the hour mark, when Antoine Semenyo's curling finish punished a rare breakdown, but Burnley's structure largely held firm for the rest of the afternoon. Worrall replaced the injured Maxime Esteve (knock) in central defense and contributed solidly with eight clearances for his first Premier League start this campaign.

Marcus Edwards - Delivers assist on equalizer Edwards assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Edwards was introduced in the 77th minute of Saturday's clash against the Cherries and immediately gave Burnley a different angle, holding width and looking early for runners at the back post. His defining moment came in stoppage time, when he shaped a curling cross to the far post that Armando Broja converted for the equaliser. With Burnley producing only four total shot attempts, his one moment of quality delivery changed the final outcome. Edwards has only been a bench option this season but continues to make a decent impact late in games, as he contributed to one chance created in each of his last four appearances for the Clarets.

Armando Broja - Scores late equalizer Broja scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Broja entered the pitch in the 65th minute and delivered the payoff in stoppage time, rising highest at the far post to head home Marcus Edwards' cross for a dramatic draw. Burnley had offered little threat for long stretches, making his aerial presence and timing decisive when the one true opening arrived. The goal halted Burnley's seven game losing run and was also his first of the season in eight shot attempts.
