Nick Pope Goes Off Injured as Burnley Secure 1-1 Draw in Europa League Qualifier Against Aberdeen

Burnley were hoping for a much better week ahead of their first European match since 1967, yet things couldn't have gone more wrong in the opening stages.

With the side set to face Aberdeen in the first leg of a Europa League qualifier on Thursday night, they nearly fell afoul of UEFA after their plane was delayed, leaving them at risk of facing sanctions for failing to fulfil media duties a day before the game.

14 minutes gone and Nick Pope has been forced off with injury for Burnley.

Meanwhile, Hibernian are trailing at home to Asteras Tripolis.
