Joao Palhinha Injury: Tight call for Burnley match

Palhinha (undisclosed) is in doubt for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Joao is progressing, could be close for Burnley, but I think it will be a tight one."

Palhinha has been progressing through his injury this week, but is not yet fully fit, still needing to gain a bit more fitness before he is deemed an option for Saturday. This will likely lead him to some late testing ahead of the match, with that to decide if he is an option or not. He has missed their past two games, and after being a late call, he will likely only find the bench if fit.
