BURNLEY will be without Ben Mee and Ashley Barnes for the season finale against Bournemouth this weekend.
Mee is continuing to struggle with a shin injury, but the news is positive on Barnes, who came off against Arsenal with a shoulder injury.
The striker has stretched his ligaments rather than suffer a dislocation and is expected back for the start of pre-season returning.
"Ben Mee and Ashley Barnes won’t make it, Barnesy is nothing too serious with a shoulder," said boss Sean Dyche.
"It’s his shoulder, he’s stretched the ligaments. He should be fine for pre-season.
"We got a specialist’s opinion and that’s one where you can leave it, you can operate in equal measure, it’s a similar scenario and the healing period is similar in terms of weeks rather than months, so we’re very positive on that one."
