Burnley captain Josh Cullen is set for a "prolonged period on the sidelines" after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The Republic of Ireland midfielder suffered the injury early in the second half of Saturday's 0-0 draw with Everton before being replaced by Florentino Luis. Cullen had scans on Monday which confirmed the injury and the 29-year-old is set to undergo surgery. "Everyone at Burnley Football Club wishes Josh all the best for a successful and speedy recovery," the Clarets said in statement.

Substitute Armando Broja headed in a last-minute equaliser as Burnley salvaged a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, which ended the visitors' seven-game Premier League losing run. Bournemouth had been in charge of the contest and looked on course for victory when Antoine Semenyo picked out the bottom corner with a fine finish, capitalising on an untimely slip from Josh Laurent in the 67th minute, before it was cancelled out.

Armando Broja scored an injury-time equaliser as Burnley ended their seven-match losing run with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. Having seen a Jaidon Anthony goal ruled out for offside late in the first half, Burnley looked set to suffer an eighth successive defeat when Antoine Semenyo, heavily linked with a move away from Bournemouth with the likes of Manchester City and Manchester United thought to be interested, put the Cherries ahead.

Burnley head coach Scott Parker believes striker Armando Broja has managed to "dodge a bullet" and could be fit to face his previous club Chelsea. Broja was taken off the pitch on a stretcher after twisting his ankle during the final stages of Albania's World Cup qualifier against England but he has been able to train since midweek. Quilindschy Hartman has recovered from the illness which caused him to withdraw from the Netherlands squad during the international break.

Absolutely, one of the greatest full-backs ever. I slept like a baby before games with Kyle there. He can handle top, top-class wingers in the world.

He needs proper minutes of training before he has a certain base, let alone for him to play twice in three days. So that's what we do, we try to prepare players for the beginning of the season once a week, and then we try to do more and more and more before we go into the rhythm of two games a week, so that they are ready for that schedule.
