SAM Vokes is touch and go for tomorrow's trip to Cardiff City.
The striker missed last Saturday's visit of unbeaten Brighton with the groin strain he suffered a fortnight earlier against Wolves.
A scan has revealed no significant damage, and manager Sean Dyche is set to give Vokes every chance of proving his fitness.
But the Burnley boss said he would continue to err on the side of caution and not risk a long-term problem if there was any element of doubt.
"He’s good generally, he’s been on the grass so we’ll see how he responds," said Dyche, who when asked if he was touch and go last weekend added: “He’s still a bit like that.
"We’ve had the injury scanned and it’s nothing major but it is still one that has to be taken care of to make sure it doesn’t turn into anything longer term.
“He’s been moving well all week but we’ve just got to be assured that he’s capable of playing."
