The Burnley Sentinel
Squad9 Nov 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Lesley Ugochukwu
62 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Burnley lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Squad9 Nov 2026
A fracture rules James Ward-Prowse out for 52 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Burnley will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match7 Nov 2026
A European night to remember for Burnley
3‑2 against FK Senica, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.
Match4 Nov 2026
Burnley march on in the cup
Leeds United are out and Burnley go through, 0‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.
Match7 Nov 2026
Burnley strike at the death to beat FK Senica
There were 86 minutes on the clock and FK Senica had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Burnley did not stop to explain themselves.
Player ratings9 Nov 2026
Zian Flemming scores twice — 8.49
Two goals and a mark of 8.49 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Match9 Nov 2026
Burnley sink to position 16
9 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.
Squad9 Nov 2026
Max Weiß decides it from twelve yards
1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.
Squad9 Nov 2026
Marcus Edwards in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burnley this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
In brief
- Match A bad afternoon for Burnley against Crystal Palace
- The terraces Everybody has an opinion about Václav Hladký
- Player ratings Hannibal runs at them all day
