SEAN Dyche will let Dean Marney and Scott Arfield decide if they want to make a final appearance for the Clarets this weekend.
Both men are moving on at the end of their contracts this summer, with Arfield close to sealing a move to Rangers in the Scottish Premiership, while Marney has met with Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka over a potential summer move.
The duo have been stalwarts of Burnley's success under Dyche, with over 400 appearances between them, but the Clarets chief will let them decide whether they want to come on for a Turf Moor farewell against Bournemouth, although he admitted that it wouldn't be the case if there was anything riding on the game.
Asked if they would make one final appearance, Dyche said: "If they wish to. Scotty has already in principle (agreed a move), he’s got to be careful with his body. Deano is similar but different.
"We’ll be respectful of that. If they say ‘no’, then I’ll respect that.
"We’re in the position to do that. And I know Eddie will be respectful of that.
"If this game meant more, that wouldn’t be the case."
