Injuries & Absentees
Burnley are severely hampered by injuries, with key forward Zeki Amdouni out long-term following crucial ligament surgery in the summer, not expected back until April 2026. Defender Jordan Beyer is also sidelined with a hamstring issue, having only recently recovered from a long-standing knee injury, with an expected return in January 2026. Fellow defender Connor Roberts is facing a few more months out due to a calf/shin/heel injury setback, also aiming for a January 2026 return. For Crystal Palace, their top goalscorer Ismaïla Sarr is a significant absentee, having suffered ankle ligament damage against Manchester United and will miss this game and the subsequent fixture against Fulham, with doubts over his Africa Cup of Nations participation. Left wing-back Borna Sosa is also unavailable for the Burnley match due to a knock, though he is hoped to return for the Fulham game. Long-term absentees for Palace include midfielder Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Caleb Kporha (back). Rio Cardines is also out with a groin injury. However, Will Hughes and captain Marc Guehi, who had recent concerns, are expected to be available.
