Burnley will go into the final game of the season without Jordan\u00a0Beyer and Josh Cullen due to injury. Manager Mike Jackson has admitted they are waiting on a late fitness test for Maxime Esteve. Connor Roberts, who has missed the entire season due to an Achilles injury, played 45 minutes for the U21S last week and may be in contention to make the squad. Jackson said during his pre-match press conference<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

“We can’t change what has happened this season, but we can affect how we leave it, and I think that’s the biggest thing for us going into this game on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Nobody wants to finish bottom of the league, and that’s our full focus. Getting a result for the fans and giving them a performance to be proud of.”<\/p>\n
