Burnley's Maxwel Cornet "touch and go" for Crystal Palace match

Maxwel Cornet "touch and go" for Crystal Palace match

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has revealed that Maxwel Cornet is "touch and go" for Saturday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old missed the midweek win over Tottenham Hotspur with a foot injury, watching on as the Clarets made it back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Burnley will continue to monitor Cornet in the buildup to kickoff, while Dyche also confirmed that Ashley Westwood and Charlie Taylor could be in line to feature.

However, Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson will play no part in the contest due to injury.

"Matej Vydra is on the grass but he's recovering still. Ashley Westwood has cleared his protocols so he's back in," Dyche told reporters at his pre-match press conference.

"Maxwel Cornet's foot injury is touch and go and Johann Gudmundsson is going to be while with a tear in his calf. Charlie Taylor will be back in and around the squad."

Burnley's win over Spurs on Wednesday night was just their third in the league this season and lifted them to within two points of safety.
