Chris Wood fit for Burnley

Posted Friday, November 08, 2019 by PA

Burnley striker Chris Wood is fit and ready to return for Saturday’s Premier League visit of West Ham.

The New Zealand skipper has missed the last two games with a hamstring problem but is back in contention as the Clarets look to end a three-match losing run.

Danny Drinkwater is working up to full fitness but will not be involved, nor will Johann Berg Gudmundsson (hamstring), although he is back in training.

Jack Wilshere is expected to be assessed ahead of the Hammers’ trip to Turf Moor.

West Ham will continue to be without Lukasz Fabianski, with the goalkeeper expected to be sidelined for at least another month.

Manuel Pellegrini said winger Michail Antonio will not be available until after the upcoming international break.

Burnley provisional squad: Pope, Hart, Lowton, Taylor, Tarkowski, Mee, Gibson, Pieters, Bardsley, Long, Cork, McNeil, Brady, Hendrick, Westwood, Lennon, Wood, Barnes, Wood, Rodriguez, Vydra, Peacock-Farrell.

West Ham provisional squad: Jimenez, Fredericks, Balbuena, Diop, Cresswell, Rice, Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Noble, Snodgrass, Felipe Anderson, Haller, Ajeti, Zabaleta, Fornals, Ogbonna, Martin, Wilshere.
