Burnley boss Dyche concerned over Mee injury

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is sweating on a potential knee injury for Ben Mee.

Burnley have a fresh injury concern over Mee for Saturday's Premier League visit of Chelsea after their captain was forced off in the first half of Tuesday's 2-0 home defeat by Leicester.

Mee put in a strong challenge to block Patson Daka's attempts to break into the box around 20 minutes into the match, and after twice receiving treatment on his knee the 32-year-old was forced off five minutes before half-time, replaced by Nathan Collins.

Sean Dyche said after the match he did know how serious the injury was, and was hoping for more information on Wednesday.

“I think he has a bang on his knee, hopefully a bang more than a twist but I will wait to find out more," he said.
