Esteve was taken off as a precaution due to a cramp in Saturday's 1-1 draw to Liverpool, according to manager Scott Parker, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express. "No, it looked like it was cramp. He was getting cramps in both quads. That's what it was, so hopefully not too serious."

Eseteve had to be taken off 16 minutes before the final whistle on Saturday, but has avoided an injury, with the defender instead dealing with cramps and leaving due to caution. This is good news for the club, as it appears they will avoid an injury scare for their defender. He should then remain in the starting XI moving forward, starting in all 19 of his appearances.
