Before today’s huge match against Bournemouth, Burnley has suffered a serious blow with the news that Lyle Foster is AWOL.

Only on Thursday did the striker, who has three goals this season, sign a new long-term contract with Burnley.

The 23-year-old, though, is currently completely missing from Burnley’s lineup after Kompany said in his pre-game interview that his striker is sick.

Vincent Kompany makes five changes in total from last weekend’s miserable 3-0 defeat to Brentford.

Vitinho replaces the suspended Connor Roberts, who was sent off for two bookable offenses against the Bees and will miss one game.

Josh Brownhill, Anass Zaroury, Luca Koleosho, and Johann Gudmundsson—who is making his comeback from injury—join the side in other places.

This is Zaroury’s first league start of the year as a winger.

Along with Roberts and Foster, the other three that pulled out were Sander Berge, Mike Tresor, and Wilson Odobert.

Michael Obafemi, Manuel Benson, Jordan Beyer, and Hjalmar Ekdal are still not playing.

In relation to Bournemouth, they have made four changes since losing 2-1 to Wolves the previous week. First-choice goalie Neto is one player who had to withdraw due to an injury.

Having failed to secure their first victory of the year, the Cherries are currently one point and one positive behind the Clarets in the league table.
