Westwood poised for Clarets return against Palace
Posted Friday, March 01, 2019 by PA
Ashley Westwood is expected to return to the heart of Burnley’s midfield for the visit of Crystal Palace.
Westwood was a late withdrawal from the side beaten at Newcastle in midweek because of illness but the 28-year-old is available for this weekend and should resume his central midfield partnership with Jack Cork.
Fellow midfielders Steven Defour (calf) and Aaron Lennon (knee) remain sidelined.
Palace will have Aaron Wan-Bissaka available for selection at Turf Moor.
The defender has recovered from a hamstring injury, and will be vying with Joel Ward to start.
Mamadou Sakho has been ruled out having undergone knee surgery on Thursday, and while Pape Souare is nearing a return, Saturday’s fixture will come too soon.
