PREM: Burnley v Middlesbrough preview


Burnley v Middlesbrough preview

Burnley welcome Johann Berg Gudmundsson back for the game against Middlesbrough, but will be without Matthew Lowton.


Iceland international winger Gudmundsson has been out since November with a hamstring injury he sustained against Manchester City but featured in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Preston in midweek.

Lowton will serve a one-match suspension for picking up five cautions since the start of the season.

Middlesbrough winger Viktor Fischer will miss the trip after being ruled out for up to three weeks with a knee injury.

The former Ajax midfielder hobbled off the pitch during the first half of Boro's 3-0 Premier League victory over Swansea last Saturday and will miss the entire festive programme as he recovers.

Head coach Aitor Karanka hopes to have midfielder Cristhian Stuani (foot) fit, while full-back George Friend will push for a return to the starting line-up after appearing as a substitute against the Swans following a knee problem.

Squads:

Burnley: Heaton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Arfield, Boyd, Marney, Hendrick, Vokes, Gray, Robinson, Barnes, Bamford, Flanagan, Kightly, Defour, Tarkowski, Gudmundsson.

Middlesbrough: Valdes, Guzan, Chambers, Friend, Fabio, Barragan, Nsue,Gibson, Ayala, Espinosa, De Roon, Clayton, Forshaw, Leadbitter, Downing, Ramirez, Stuani, De Sart,Traore, Negredo, Nugent, Rhodes.
