Huddersfield Town’s FA Cup third round opponents Burnley will host the Terriers with a covid-stricken squad on Saturday lunchtime, with assistant manager Ian Woan taking the reins.
Burnley have also confirmed that first-team players such as Nick Pope, Jay Rodriguez and Josh Brownhill will all be missing from the game, with further testing potentially damaging the Clarets selection choices even more.
Reports suggest the FA want the full weekend's fixture list to go ahead even if that means fielding weakened sides, meaning a few of Burnley's under-23 players could get a look in against Huddersfield Town.
