Team news from Burnley | Key defender to miss FA Cup tie

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has confirmed that Jordan Beyer will miss Friday evening's FA Cup third round tie at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (8pm UK).

The German centre-back has started 15 of the Clarets' 20 matches in the Premier League so far this season but was forced off after 17 minutes of the 3-2 loss at Villa last time out in 30 December.

Kompany was asked about Beyer at his pre-match press conference on Thursday, and said: "He won't feature in the next game. Hopefully, he'll be back for the Luton game (15 January)."

Asked if he was likely to give other players a chance, or stick with the team that has been playing, Kompany answered: "We look at this game against Tottenham as another Premier League game so, even if there is a change or two, I don't think there's anything crazy to expect.

"The goal for us is to continue trying to play against these teams and maybe get results against these teams. I don't think we can afford to do anything too crazy. Maybe one or two, but nothing major."
