33 days out for Zeki Amdouni 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.
Match6 Dec 2027
The view from the top for Burnley
39 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Daniel Smith says Burnley went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Kyle Walker raises the bar for Burnley
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Burnley heard it as anything else.

A muscle injury and 15 days out for Jordan Beyer
The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Burnley will quote 15 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.
Match4 Dec 2027
Jacob Bruun Larsen sends Burnley past Leicester City
It finished 1‑0, and it was Jacob Bruun Larsen’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Burnley.
Match30 Nov 2027
Burnley find a way past Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough made Burnley work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Jacob Bruun Larsen in the eights
A performance of 8.08 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

One of those days for Bashir Humphreys
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.07, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
In brief
