Burnley FC is set to face Brentford on October 28, 2023, as they aim to recover from a series of defeats, including a recent loss to Chelsea. This match is critical for Scott Parker’s squad, who find themselves just one point above the relegation zone. The Clarets will look to turn their fortunes around as they head to the Gtech Community Stadium.
In preparation for the upcoming match, Parker expressed optimism regarding his team’s health. “We’re shaping up okay, to be fair,” he stated. “There are no injury concerns. We’re actually a fully fit squad, other than the players that are obviously out with more long-term injuries, so we’re in a good place.”
Despite this positive assessment, Burnley will continue to miss key players due to injuries. Connor Roberts, who has not participated this season, is sidelined with an achilles injury. Similarly, Jordan Beyer is on the mend from a hamstring issue that followed a long-term knee injury. Meanwhile, Zeki Amdouni is recovering from an ACL injury and will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.
Providing updates on the injured players, Parker remarked, “I think they’re all on track to where they need to be. Jordan’s back now on the grass but again, that’s just in a real low level. But that’s pleasing. Zeki the same, he’s now out on the grass picking up from an ACL, and Connor’s still a little bit behind in terms of where he is, but he’s on schedule for where he needs to be.”
As Burnley prepares for the match, the team will rely on its remaining players to deliver a strong performance against Brentford. The Clarets’ last match against Chelsea ended in a disappointing defeat, marking their third consecutive loss. The urgency to secure points is palpable as the team strives to avoid slipping deeper into the relegation zone.
