Squad

32 days out for Jerry Yates after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Burnley will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Burnley sell Anel Ahmedhodžić for $17.2M

Anel Ahmedhodžić has left for Partizan in a $17.2M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Match

Jacob Bruun Larsen settles it late for Burnley

The 88th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Jacob Bruun Larsen decided nobody was going anywhere. Middlesbrough had no time left to answer.

Transfer targets

An offer of $2.2M for Joe Williams

Burnley have gone to Bristol City with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

The dugout

Jerry Yates: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Burnley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Only the photograph left for Luca Mazzitelli

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Luca Mazzitelli will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Burnley the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at Burnley

Quilindschy Hartman and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

The step up is real for Jens Hjertø-Dahl

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Igor falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief
