Hodgson provides Ward update following early Liverpool sub

Roy Hodgson has delivered his pre-Burnley press conference and kicked off with team news ahead of the trip to Turf Moor.

Joel Ward left the pitch against Liverpool early, much like he did in the previous game at Stamford Bridge. However, unlike the Chelsea knock, Hodgson has revealed that Ward's injury is a more severe one and will see him sidelined for a period of time: "We’ve recovered well [over recent weeks]. It is of course only Joel Ward, who was taken off [against Liverpool], and his injury I’m afraid will keep him out for a number of weeks, but he’s the only one at the moment.
