In doubt against Southampton Vydra (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with Southampton.

Impact Prior to getting hurt, Vydra has started the previous two matches for the club in which he recorded one assist, three shots (two on target) and two chances created. Still, the forward came off the bench in his other four appearances this year, so his spot in the starting XI, if deemed fully fit, should be considered tenuous at best.

Considered touch and go Vydra picked up a knock over the break and is considered "touch and go" for Saturday's trip to Manchester City, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It's the dreaded "touch and go" from Dyche, which means Vydra will probably be out Saturday. It's unknown the injury, but Vydra has dealt with a bunch of minor things the last few weeks, though he's been able to play through them and start Burnley's last two matches. If he can't go, Jay Rodriguez seems to be ahead of Ashley Barnes in the pecking order.

Starting for national team Vydra (head) played off the bench last week and is in the starting XI for Monday's match with Czech Republic.

Impact It looks like Vydra didn't suffer a concussion last week, so he's been playing for Czech Republic over the break. He's started the last two matches for Burnley and it looks like he's the preferred forward at the moment next to Chris Wood up front.

Exits early Saturday Vydra was forced off in the 35th minute of Saturday's match against Norwich after receiving a blow to the head.

Impact Vydra came into Saturday's match with a back issue but that wasn't thought to be a problem. He'll have a couple weeks to recover over the break, but Burnley still have a healthy Jay Rodriguez and Ashley Barnes to start up front.

Starting against Norwich Vydra (back) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Norwich.

Impact As expected, Vydra is fine after receiving a blow to the back last week. He assisted in his first start of the season and should get more opportunities against Norwich, who have yet to take a point in this campaign.

Should be option against Norwich Vydra (back) has a strong chance of being available for Saturday's match against Norwich, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact This is a positive update on Vydra, who received a blow to his back last week after going the first 75 minutes. He could be in play to start again after producing two shots and two chances with an assist in a tough spot against Leicester, his first start of the season.

Comes off injured against Leicester Vydra was subbed out of Saturday's draw against Leicester City in the 75th minute after suffering an apparent injury. He made two clearances and won one of one tackles in the match...

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.

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.

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.

AUGUST 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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

Sees more minutes in second half Vydra started 11 of the final 14 matches of the season after starting just three other matches before that stretch.

Impact Vydra's role has slowly grown the last few seasons and now it seems like he could be in contention to take the spot of Ashley Barnes up front. He took minutes from Jay Rodriguez in the second half of the season, finishing with three goals, two assists, 35 shots and 14 chances created in 28 appearances (15 starts).
