Burnley hoping for Johann Berg Gudmundsson fitness boost
Posted Saturday, April 14, 2018 by PA
Burnley are hopeful winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson will have recovered from a calf strain in time for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Leicester.
Gudmundsson could come in for Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, who is a doubt after feeling tightness in his hamstring, while fellow winger Scott Arfield (calf) remains sidelined.
Burnley will definitely be without key defender Ben Mee, who is set to miss several weeks with a shin problem, so Kevin Long will continue.
Hamza Choudhury is set to start his first Premier League game for Leicester against their top-seven rivals.
Development squad captain Choudhury will line up alongside Adrien Silva in central midfield, with Vicente Iborra set to miss the rest of the season with the hamstring injury that forced him off during the home defeat to Newcastle last weekend.
Daniel Amartey is still working his way back to fitness after his own hamstring injury, while Wilfred Ndidi will serve the final game of his two-match ban.
