Starts to face Arsenal
Hannibal (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Arsenal.
Analysis: Hannibal looks to have passed his testing Monday after some injury concerns, as the midfielder works into the starting XI to face the Gunners. He will look to finish the season strong before his club's return to the Championship, with his main goal to remain fit for the World Cup. He has recorded one goal and four assists in 25 appearances (13 starts).
Late call for Monday
Hannibal (hamstring) is a late call for Monday's clash against Arsenal, with a final decision to be made closer to the match, according to coach Mike Jackson. "Virtually everyone is fit for selection. We will make the call on Hannibal nearer the time but he has recovered well."
Analysis: Hannibal's encouraging recovery from the precautionary withdrawal against Aston Villa is a positive sign ahead of the fixture, with manager Mike Jackson's comments suggesting the hamstring issue is not considered serious. The 23-year-old had recently missed three matches with a hamstring problem, making any recurrence a concern, but the positive recovery update will provide relief for both Burnley and Tunisia ahead of the World Cup this summer. A final decision on his involvement will be made ahead of Monday's fixture.
