Training, doubt for Saturday Gudmundsson (hamstring) has been training at some capacity the last couple days and will be a late call for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact This would be a quick return for Gudmundsson, who injured his hamstring in the Feb. 17 contest. Since it's a muscle injury, it's best to assume he'll be on the bench in his first match back, though Burnley may need help on the wing Saturday with a new injury to Jack Cork.

Training, late test for Saturday Brady (Achilles) has trained well the last couple days and will be a late call for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Brady has missed the last three matches because of a nagging Achilles issue, but it looks like he's closer to returning. If ready Saturday, he could immediately move back into the starting XI, though given his injury history, he may not be pushed too much.

Picks up hamstring issue Cork had two chances created in Wednesday's draw against Leicester City, but he also picked up a tight hamstring, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact On a short week, a tight hamstring usually means bad news and it could mean Cork misses Saturday's match. If that's the case, it'll likely bring Josh Brownhill back to a central and move someone else into the XI onto the wing. Cork is a little more than a month removed from a foot injury and has started the last seven matches.

Makes impact on offense Lowton logged five crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact The Clarets were surprisingly active offense-wise, with Lowton leading them in chances created and coming second on crosses (behind Dwight McNeil, nine). He will occasionally have bursts of offensive production that comes too inconsistently for him to be considered a reliable fantasy option.
MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE
Continues providing offense McNeil logged nine crosses (one accurate), three corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact McNeil may remain a rather ineffective option for goal contributions but has elevated his quantity in statistical categories across recent games. He's logged 18 corners, 10 accurate crosses and 10 chances created across the previous six fixtures.
MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE
Takes three shots Wood took three shots (all on goal) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact Wood failed to score a goal but supplied one of his better performances Wednesday. It is only the second time this season in which he has logged at least three shots on goal. Wood will look at continuing his regular role as Burnley's top striking option.
MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in draw Vydra scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact An errant pass from Hamza Choudhury allowed Vydra to score his first goal for Burnley this season. He had not scored a professional goal in over 12 months and will likely remain an inadequate asset to fantasy owners while Ashley Barnes (thigh) is out.
MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE
Beaten once in stalemate Pope made three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
Impact Pope's chances of a clean sheet were dented after Kelechi Iheanacho scored a 34th-minute goal. He has now conceded six goals across the Clarets' past four games. Pope will remain an unfavorable option heading into their next game Saturday against Arsenal.

Back on bench Pieters (groin) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Leicester City.
Impact Pieters wasn't expected to return Wednesday, but he's back in the squad in his usual role on the bench. He missed the last three matches with a groin injury and in that time, Charlie Taylor recovered from his injury and has started at left-back, meaning Pieters will likely continue in a bench role.

Remains out Gudmundsson (hamstring) is not expected to recover for Wednesday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Gudmundsson is barely a week removed from a hamstring injury and given his prior muscle issues the last couple years, he'll likely remain out another week or two. Combined with the absence of Robbie Brady, Dyche has been forced to use Josh Brownhill on the wing the last couple contests.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Likely out Wednesday Pieters (groin) is expected to miss Wednesday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Pieters was touch and go for the weekend match and that remains the case Wednesday. The winger has a groin issue that'll likely keep him out another week, though even when healthy, he'll likely be back on the bench.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Expected out midweek Brady (Achilles) isn't expected to be an option for Wednesday's match against Leicester City, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Brady was considered a "maybe" over the weekend, but it's a few days later and he's still expected out Wednesday. His absence combined with Johann Berg Gudmundsson's means more starts for Josh Brownhill on the wing, something that has led to zero goals the last two matches.

Impact Wood missed all of February because of a hamstring injury, so pushing him too much probably isn't a good idea on a short week. Even if he starts against Leicester City, he's unlikely to go a full 90 with Jay Rodriguez and Matej Vydra both healthy and options to play, as well.
