Injury Expert shares early Burnley team news v Everton
Ben Dinnery reports that Burnley will be missing five first-team players against Everton in the Premier League.
The injury expert posted the information on his website and included a list of the players who are “ruled out” or unavailable for Sunday’s match at Turf Moor, December 17.
Michael Obafemi, Charlie Taylor, Lyle Foster, and Luca Koleosho are all “ruled out” of Saturday’s match due to injuries, with Josh Cullen, a midfielder, expected to make a 50% comeback.
Aaron Ramsey is out with a knee injury and is unlikely to return for the game with a “no return date” and 50 per cent chance set by Dinnery along with Jack Cork.
Confidence
With Everton’s current form—they’ve been among the Premier League’s best sides in recent weeks—this match might not be as close as the table suggests.
Actually, Dyche’s team would be comfortably positioned inside the top half of the table right now, just one point behind West Ham United and five points outside of the European rankings, if it weren’t for the Toffees’ 10-point deduction.
Everton is currently enjoying a fantastic run of three straight wins, but part of their success may be attributed to their excellent defensive play, which has also resulted in multiple clean sheets. Branthwaite will be sorely missed.
Whether it’s Ben Godfrey or Michael Keane to come on Saturday evening, both players have a huge job on their hands replacing the young Englishman and their lack of match action and practice could well be exploited by Kompany and his team.
This season, Dyche has developed into a master tactician at Goodison Park, but he must now devise a strategy to guarantee that his squad remains competitive even in Branthwaite’s absence. It’s encouraging to state that Everton is a strong favorite for this game, even though this clean sheet may be their most impressive of their last four games.
Amazing development in spite of their off-field problems.
