CENTRE half duo Michael Keane and Ben Mee could both return for Burnley at Bournemouth next weekend.
The duo had been ever present at the back for the Clarets until Mee limped out of the Turf Moor defeat to Manchester United two weeks ago.
He was replaced by Tarkowski at half-time against the Red Devils and Mee has since missed the win over Crystal Palace and the draw with West Brom as he continues to battle a shin injury.
Keane's record as one of only three outfield players to play every minute of the Premier League campaign ended on Saturday when he failed to shake off a knock picked up in the win at Palace in time to face the Baggies.
He was replaced by Kevin Long for the 2-2 draw but Clarets chief Sean Dyche said the 24-year-old had only narrowly missed out and he should return on the south coast on Saturday, while Mee could also be pushing for a recall at the Vitality Stadium.
"Keano was pretty close, I'm expecting him to be back providing he has a good week," Dyche said.
"Ben Mee has made a bit of a recovery as well, so he has a chance and could come back into the thinking."
