Dealt black eye, expected to be fine
Ekdal suffered a cut and a black eye that required stitches, but is still expected to play Saturday against West Ham, according to manager Scott Parker, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express. "We had a little incident [Wednesday] with Hjalmar, but he should be fine. He just got a bit of a black eye in training, but other than that, everyone is fit. It's a pretty nasty one at the present time. Hopefully the swelling goes down, but he's had a couple of stitches in there."
