Est. Return 12/27/2025
Ruled out due to knock
Esteve (knock) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth, coach Scott Parker confirmed to the media, according to Matt Scrafton from the Burnley Express. "Maxi is struggling with a little bit of a knock. We thought he was going to be okay but yesterday he came out of training, so that's disappointing."
ANALYSIS
Esteve has been dealing with a knock this week and couldn't end Friday's training session due to pain. The center-back was expected to be available for Saturday's clash against the Cherries but ultimately couldn't be deemed fit enough to feature in the match squad. This is a blow for the Clarets since he is an undisputed starter in central defense and is absence forces a change in the backline, with Joe Worrall stepping in his spot for that game.
