Burnley have announced there's to be a minute's applause for the hospital-bound Clarke Carlisle in their Boxing Day game against Liverpool at Turf Moor.

The former Premier League defender and Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) chairman is in hospital after being involved in a collision with a lorry in North Yorkshire on Monday.

Carlisle played for Burnley for five years, one of which came during the Clarets' first spell in the Barclays Premier League.

As a sign of support for their former player, the club announced this week that fans would clap in the fifth minute of their game against the Reds on Friday.

The fifth minute was chosen as it correlates with the squad number Carlisle wore during his time at the club.
