Hjalmar Ekdal
27-Year-Old
Burnley
Premier
Misses due to tactical reasons
Ekdal missed Sunday's 2-1 loss against Aston Villa due to tactical reasons, coach Scott Parker confirmed in a press conference, according to Burnley Express. "Yeah, he's fine. It was just more tactical at this moment. These are not easy decisions you have to make as a coach sometimes. I have to make a decision on the dynamics of the game and who I may need or who I may not need from the bench."
ANALYSIS
Ekdal started the first six games of the season in the Premier League but missed Sunday's defeat against Aston Villa due to tactical reasons. Coach Scott Parker wanted to bring in Axel Tuanzebe to add more presence in duels, and the Swedish defender was ultimately left out of the match squad for that reason. It remains uncertain if he will be included in the next match squad after the break.
