Burnley injury update for Ekdal, Vitinho, and Ramsey ahead of their return to play against Nottingham Forest
Injuries have improved for Burnley ahead of their return to play against Nottingham Forest.
Hjalmar Ekdal (knee), Vitinho (knee), and Aaron Ramsey (concussion) were all forced to leave that game due to injuries; however, two of the three have already returned to training and are now eligible for selection.
“Ekdal, we were really fearing the worst case scenario, so in our case it’s still a positive,” Kompany added.
“He won’t be physically fit for the next few weeks or whatever, but the injury is not as bad as we had anticipated.

In our case, it’s still a plus, Kompany said, “Ekdal we were really fearing the worst case scenario.”
“It’s not the injury we anticipated, but he won’t be physically fit for the next few weeks or something.
There are many possibilities and choices because Vitinho and Aaron Ramsey are both back.
Darko Churlinov (health concern) and Michael Obafemi (hamstring) are still out, while Anass Zaroury is back after serving his three-game suspension.
Kompany has announced that all 15 of the Clarets’ players who were out on international duty have returned without any knocks or ailments.
Burnley was still able to put the players who stayed behind through significant practice in preparation for Monday’s league match.
Everyone has returned prepared to depart, according to Kompany.
We got to spend more time working with whoever was there—there were a few who didn’t go—and perhaps work more specifically and individually during the break.
“We’re just on the cusp of where it’s still fascinating. When teams have only three or four players left after everyone leaves, you find themselves asking one another, “What do we do now?” We are not in that situation.
“We still have enough players to make working with players very interesting and beneficial for us.”
