Burnley's Hannibal out of Rams clash

Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri is ruled out of Tuesday's home match with Derby County after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.

The ex-Manchester United man is the only new absentee for the Clarets, who have the chance of going top of the league with a win over the struggling Rams.

Hannibal joins a list of long-term absentees that includes John Egan, Lyle Foster, Manuel Benson, Aaron Ramsey, Mike Tresor and Jordan Beyer.

However, Zian Flemming is in contention to start his first match in five games after returning to the side as a second-half substitute on Friday following a leg injury.
