Goalkeeper problems for Burnley
Posted Thursday, August 02, 2018 by PA
Burnley are likely to be without both Nick Pope and Tom Heaton for Thursday’s Europa League clash with Aberdeen, meaning Anders Lindegaard will start in goal.
Pope has had surgery on the shoulder he dislocated in the first leg while Heaton is still struggling with a calf problem. Burnley could register fourth choice Adam Legzdins as back-up for the game.
Midfielder Robbie Brady (hamstring) and Steven Defour (calf) have both picked up niggles as they work their way back from long-term problems.
Aberdeen have Andrew Considine available at Turf Moor.
The defender has recovered after missing last week’s 1-1 first-leg draw at Pittodrie due to illness.
Frank Ross and Greg Tansey (both groin) remain sidelined along with Mark Reynolds, who has been ruled out for up to seven months following knee surgery.
