Ashley Westwood is expected to be back in business when the Clarets face Crystal Palace at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Westwood’s 14-game run in the centre of Burnley’s midfield came to an end when he was taken ill during the Clarets’ mid-week trip to Tyneside.
His absence was felt as Burnley’s eight-match unbeaten Premier League run came to an end with a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle and he also missed training on Thursday.
But that was by design to aid his recovery and manager Sean Dyche confirmed he is planning for Westwood's return after being forced to rule him out at St James’ Park.
