Gudmundsson missing for Burnley
Burnley will be without Johann Berg Gudmundsson when Liverpool visit Turf Moor at Saturday teatime.
The Iceland winger suffered a calf injury midway through the second half of last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Wolves and was withdrawn. Manager Sean Dyche is confident he will be available after the international break.
Fellow winger Robbie Brady stepped up his recovery from a fractured rib with a 75-minute run-out for the under-23s earlier this week although he is unlikely to be in contention to face the European champions, while midfielder Steven Defour remains a long-term absentee.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will again be missing as he recovers from a calf injury.
Midfielder Naby Keita, who has not played since the Community Shield because of a hip/groin injury, is also absent.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is likely to make changes to his midfield having started with Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson last weekend, with James Milner an option.
Provisional Burnley squad: Pope, Hart, Lowton, Taylor, Tarkowski, Mee, Gibson, Bardsley, Pieters, Long, Cork, Drinkwater, Hendrick, Westwood, McNeil, Lennon, Barnes, Wood, Rodriguez, Vydra, Peacock-Farrell.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
